And I want to say how much I appreciate Martin's hospitality on my two visits to Ireland. On my second visit to Ireland in May, 2012, Martin took me birdwatching on Galway Bay, and then we went to a singing session in Kinvarra, and then we had a barbecue with the renowned Josephine. It was delightful. I've often wished that I could go to Spain with Martin to teach English, but that didn't happen. Whatever the case, I can't say how much I appreciate Martin and Josephine and the friendship they have shown to me through the years.
Martin and Josephine, may you survive another 20 years of marriage and song, and then some.
