I'm boarding an Aer Lingus flight to the Old Country at 7:00 this evening. I anticipate my internet access will be intermittent at best overseas - at any rate I doubt I will have much time or inclination to check in here while abroad. But you'll get a full recap once I get back, have no fear.

I will leave you with the lyrics to "The Parting Glass," a classic Irish
folk song.

Of all the money e'er I had, I spent it in good company;
And all the harm I've ever done, alas was done to none but me;
And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall,
So fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had , they wish me one more day
to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town who sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has my heart in thrall,
So fill me to the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Goodnight and joy be with you all!

Slainte,
