My fortunes in life have improved of late, and about time too. I got my US work visa and am now able to live and work there for the next 18 months. That is the best news of the year so far. I am looking forward to getting back to my life in Minneapolis. I am really enthusiastic about the autumn, or the “Fall” as they call it. Makes sense to me, leaves “fall” off trees, and so on and so forth. I have often poked fun at American phraseology only to have the smile wiped off my face when the logic of the phrase is explained to me. They’re not thick so they’re not. I am also excited about trying my hand at a few winter sports this time, aside from shoveling snow from the path in front of our apartment. The immediate Dunne family is coming over for Christmas. That will be a good time.
In other news. I went to Galway last weekend to see a friend. A great city. It’s the best place in the world when the sun is beating down. I even helped fly a kite. How does one help fly a kite? One just does, end of story.
I got the face sun burnt off me today. Not a pleasant feeling. I'll live though. I went to a free outdoor concert in the Phoenix Park today. There were 100,000 people in attendance. Here are the famous people that I saw:
1. The guy who played Eoin McLove in Father Ted.
2. The guy who won Ireland’s only Olympic gold medal in Athens.
3. Keith Duffy of ex-Boyzone and current Coronation Street fame.
