In Ireland, we were struck by the myriad ruins that are scattered throughout the country. They are the remains of forts, tombs, and castles. Our bus driver said that the law forbids people from removing them, but they're just sitting there everywhere, unprotected. Here's an example -- the remains of...

I think there would be bipartisan agreement that teaching kids about wine is bad. :lol: Which is unfortunate, because wine is heart-healthy and fun, when not abused. Money can be abused, but we still teach people how to make and save money. Whoever said "it's the journey, not the destination&q...

I'll take a Covid test today after I buy a test kit at the store. Hopefully all I have is this pesky cold.

We brought Irish weather back with us. In Richmond it's been in the 80s the whole time we've been gone -- now it's raining and in the 60s

Happy Saturday, everyone :hello: I slept 8 hours and feel much more rested. Nyqull really helped. Now it's time to transition to Dayqull. Today we'll laze around and recover, unpack a bit, and just chill out at home. hopefully a glug of disgusting irish whiskey wi;ll keep it low-=level and it isnt c...

Whoa!! How did that happen? COOL!!!!!

We'll finally board the plane in a few minutes. Thank God. We're both wrecked :loopy: Not quite as recovered as I thought, but at least my head cleared enough to come up with a cartoon for Sunday. I was starting to get worried. :lol: This is good to hear. The world would stop spinning if you missed ...

Smoked salmon bage.

Skipping dinner because Irish Colds suppress apetites.

We've got one sniffly scottydog and 41 guests.

Not to mention sneezing.

We just landed in Newark and are wiped out by these Irish colds. Our flight to Richmond leaves in 2 hours. We can't wait to collapse in our beds

Clowny and 53 today. In Richmond it's 80 degrees

Happy Friday, everyone :hello: We leave for Shannon airport in an hour. I'm all packed up and now it's time to eat breakfast. It looks like I may have caught an Irish cold -- I'm congested with a sore throat and cough. I didn't sleep well, and hopefully I can catch some Zzzs on the plane. It's a lon...

Golf was fun and now it's time to pack and get ready for tomorrow morning's flight to Newark, NJ. Well, that was a weird night of tossing and turning with fever dreams. Overall, though, it feels like this thing might be almost over. Sounds like you're getting better very, very slowly but surely. Wei...
