Me, too.
Sitting here wearing my green Guinness sweatshirt. I aim to live w/ my
family in Ireland for a year or two within 5 +/- years (though the boys may
not want to go and will be old enough where they will be in college or have
jobs, etc.).
In another lifetime I was a flight attendant for a non-scheduled carrier, I
spent many hours in Ireland back then and have wanted to return ever since.
Gaelic looks to be an impossible language to learn. I humor myself and
motivate my dream by thumbing through the phrase book now and then in an
attempt to learn a word or phrase while waiting on the computer.
Ba mhaith liom pionta leanna, which means I would like a pint of beer
(thinking ahead to later in the day).
