Love, love, love this especially because it brings up memories of trips to Ireland I made with you. I might have been the “designated” drinker once or twice. I got to see and hear all the good craic and create wonderful memories including your playing harmonica and spoons in the pub with the band, playing bingo, touring cemeteries, and visiting Inishbofin. All good craic!

Oh, we had such fun! I thought you'd enjoy this. I'm thinking 2024 might be safe for a return trip!
