JUST ONE YEAR SHORT OF '30 YEARS AGO'
I sure did host a ton of holidays when I was younger..."Little Man" (sitting on my lap) was just 28 months old back then...It was Easter of 1996...
After hosting 68+ holiday events, I am soooo ready to
pass the torch for good!!

CHANNELING MR. McCOURT TODAY !!
"The master says it’s a glorious thing to die for the Faith, and Dad says it’s a glorious thing to die for Ireland, and I wonder if there’s anyone in the world who would like us to live.” ―
"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I
survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood
is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the
miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic
childhood.”
“After
a full belly all is poetry.”
―
“Stock
your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere
with it.”
―

“People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying school masters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years ... Above all, we were wet.”
―
When I first went up to see my editor, I was with my agent,
and my editor said, 'Well, what have you been doing all these years?' And my
agent said, 'He's been in
recovery... From his childhood.'
- Frank McCourt
Oh, the
travails of being Irish !!!
