(I saw a kid today wearing a Green Day hoodie, and the title was born.)
If two blogs two days in a row is unorthodox, then two in one day is absolutely unheard-of! Consider it a St. Patrick’s Day treat. Besides, I got thirty minutes of free Internet access in this hostel by booking [...]

Green Day in Galway

Only the River Runs Free…

Take that as you will. It really refers to a book that I once read that was set in Galway–Josh will remember them, no doubt, the Galway Chronicles. Available in Riverside Baptist Church’s library for your perusal, and their pretty good. I found it appropriate since I’m in Galway today.
And appropriate because nothing here is [...]
Greetings from an Internet Cafe in Galway

Time to be brief.
I have found an Internet cafe here in Galway, but I’m being charged by the minute–as far as I know. Great, huh? Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that I am here, safe, and well on my way to seeing tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day parade.
But that’s tomorrow, and I still [...]
Greetings from a Dublin Internet Kiosk!

Well, I have found an Internet kiosk here in Dublin, but the spacebar and the “enter” keys are missing; I can make do without the spacebar but it’s tough going, andunlessItypeeverythinginonelongsientenceandwithoutanyparagraphbreaksitcouldtakeasuperlongtimetosayallIwanttosayaboutthepastcoupleofdays–soI’mgoingtohavetowaitforthat. But do be checking in every now and again; today I’ll be getting into Galway, and there’s a St. Patrick’s Day parade there.
And happy belated birthday [...]
Entry-Level Travel; Experience Desired
Posted in Uncategorized on March 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »
If I never thought so before, I have realised after being here for a month and-a-half or so that I am in no way an experienced traveller. And, with spring break coming up, and with lots of travelling on my schedule, the chances of my terribly muddling something very important have increased about tenfold. So, [...]
Penzance Plans Postponed
Posted in Uncategorized on March 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today’s plans went to the wash as soon as I got up at 7:18 am–about two and-a-half hours late. I was supposed to get up at 4:30 to catch the 5:40 train to Penzance, but that obviously didn’t work out. For a moment, I was devastated–then frustrated, then incredulous, then frustrated again, then bewildered. I [...]
Homesick and Recovering
Posted in Uncategorized on March 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I perceive that I haven’t blogged in a longer period of time than normal. Or perhaps it just feels longer than normal. This has been a long week, what with Internet malfunctions and a presentation for which to prepare. So I’ve been trying to do a lot of reading for that, which cuts into my [...]
My Confession
Posted in Uncategorized on March 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I want to be totally honest with you: I got very angry with my computer last night. So angry that I wanted to call it names, which, as my mom pointed out, wouldn’t have helped at all.
See, my Internet wasn’t working, and I thought it was because my “network cable is disconnected,” as the little [...]
To Mum, With Love From Me to You

Mum–happy Mothering Day.
Somehow, Great Britain holds its celebration of motherhood almost two months before we do in the US. So, in the case of moms with children in the UK around this time of year, they really get two days! At least that’s how it works for my mom. Oddly enough, I haven’t heard of [...]
