Go n-eiri an t-adh leat! Adh mor ort, Declan!
No, I’m not going crazy: that’s Gaelic for Good Luck, Declan. My friend Declan came by to see BETM last Saturday and we were able to catch up a bit. He’ll be leaving in February to tour with the US troupe of LOTD. (That would be: Lord of the Dance.) Maybe when they get up nearer NY in the spring, I’ll have to go cheer him on!

Monday I was back on LI and we had a great visit with Aunt Jen...
