Today, Porter went to: The Rock of Cashel Hore Abbey Cahir Castle Athessel Priory\ All were amazing examples of FDOS (falling down old stuff). I took over four hundred pictures that have been imported into iPhoto, but not looked at yet. I’m tired, plus, I have to get up really early tomorrow to check out […]

I’ve yet to see anything sold out on Woot before I have a chance to decide if I want to order it, even the remote controlled cars. They’re always sold out before I see them. All hail being five hours ahead of the east coast (well, until I have to adjust to being five hours […]

St. Kevin the Penitent Porter took this one. I was sitting, wheezing, in St. Kevin’s Cell and prayed to the patron saint of asthmatics (who I hope is Saint Kevin) to help me make it the rest of the way up the mountain. Then I laid down until an old man walking by made fun […]

Porter and I are going to be here on Saturday, and are looking for some more falling down old stuff to go look at and take pictures of. Right now, we’re expanding our circle to both the north and the west. If you know Ireland, and you have some suggestions, we would love to hear […]

We wanted football jerseys. In the tourist shops and sporting goods stores, they’re crazy expensive, so we’d given up hope. Then, we found O’Neills Factory Store, and we were saved!!! It’s a factory outlet on Long Mile Road in Dublin, and we got crazy deals on jerseys, hats and even a soccer ball that has […]

I’ve uploaded a bunch of photosets to Flickr on this trip, and I figured I’d do one post with links to all of them, just so you don’t miss anything. Irish National Print Museum Newgrange Monasterboice Mellifont Abby Glendalough Wicklow\ There ya go. All of them, in one handy-dandy list. There may not be any […]

Ireland: Glendalough I swear that’s really its name. I could not make this up. iPhoto is taking is sweet time uploading the other pictures to Flickr, but they’ll get there eventually.\ Porter and I went to Glendalough, in County Wicklow today. It was absolutely gorgeous. The falls are just one part. Wait till you see […]

Here are the pictures I took at Newgrange today. Newgrange is amazing. It’s a neolithic passage tomb built over five thousand years ago. It sits on top of a large hill and is surrounded by thirty-seven smaller passage tombs. The structure is a amazing. It’s made with huge flat stones laid with each layer slightly […]

I’ve caught something. I think it’s a mix of my asthma coupled with cold and very wet air (93% humidity, 33-40 degrees). My chest is full of… stuff, and I can’t breathe, which makes me tired, irritable and vulgar. I went to the “chemist” today after work, and picked up some mucolytic agent, vaporub (for […]
