No Love Thursday:
A scholar's ink lasts longer than a martyr's blood. Irish proverb
I would like to dedicate today and most of tomorrow to Mr. Shane MacGowan, who’s sage like lyrics and clear vision have had a dramatic impact on the man I am today.
On throwing my body off the Wagon:
Just a few short hours and I will be in the company of my fellow travelers. With a tentative start time of 8am, at the "Amphibian" Pub, 10:00 the Rugby Bar, followed by at 4:00 My Favorite Bar, (Note: the schedule is subject to change as are the durations of drinking time at each site).
For us Irish Catholics it’s a time to see old friends, catch up, get into a fist fight, buy each other shots, and wake up the next morning forgetting you ever saw them until the photos come back a week later.
I will be in the company of my loving and bird like wife, distinguished members of the Rugby team, the media (print, radio & TV) the local constabulary, the fire services, also the medical and judicial fields. Dear friends, one and all.
A day for deep pockets and strong livers if there ever was one. Truth be known, my flower has already been asked to sing at two bars not on the tour, so she might go off and make me some money, she has a voice like an angel when it comes to Irish songs, She even learned a new one this year, it’s a happy one where only 2 people die.
