The inimitable Thony C. (who has been an invaluable resource for this writer on more than one occasion) has started his own blog. (The words 'finally' having been exhaled from more than one blog quarter.)

Check him out when you get a chance.

Ireland in June



County Clare. Dromoland Castle dates back to Brian Boru in the late 16th century. Not far from Shannon Airport and a convenient spot from which to launch day trips to visit the relatives....

(Bag End)

Glanworth is near Fermoy. One road through the town with a convenience store named O'Flynn's.

Memo to famous science fiction author: we may be related.

In Newmarket on Fergus, County Clare
The weather is nice here at Dromoland Castle. A little irked that the hotel IT system doesn't allow youtube uploading, so the videos will have to wait until the next stop or, if that doesn't allow for it, when we get back home.

The girls like feeding the ducks....

Test Driving HD
Here's a brief view of "A" Street in Southie, using my new Flip HD camera. 1280 x 720 in H.264. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself...
