Congrats!! Jock. May you and your lassie have many years of love and happiness. Me and my colleen are going on 30 of our own.

Hey Arthur and Nynia, by any chance do either of you know of a Meehan's Pub or Bar (or similar designation) in or close to Dublin? I've been told that there is one. But there's probably plenty all over the island. Our children are proposing a trip to Ireland for our 31st, and it would be nice to find it and have our pictures taken in front of the place having our family name on it.

They have suggested a two week stay in Ireland. However, we feel, since we'd be so close, that we'll also go to Scotland. Nynia, if you have any good suggestions on what to do or where to go, I'd like to hear them. By the way, good luck in your studies. Have you selected a major yet.

Greetings, Carlin. Thought I'd let you know that I like the Pogues. I also enjoy listening to U-2, and just this last March, when taping a show on PBS, which I overtimed to account for pledge breaks, I found that I had taped a concert in London by the Corrs.

Okay, after a glass or two now of the fine brown brew, I'll join in:

I shook her up. I shook her down. Heave away! Haul away! I shook her round and round the town. We're bound for South Australia.

Slainte gael mavourneen!
