above ground

a "dollar" store in Ennis?  they also have an "everything for 2 Euro" store.

makes sense to me.


Tony enjoying the Irish sunshine and green countryside.

from my walk on the 2nd of july in County Clare.  i was actually on my way to somewhere else but ended up here by "chance". . .  and chance is a good thing.
and by chance, i heard Helen Hayes on Clare FM after my long walk and before my night of "live" music.  i bought Helen's wonderful cd on thursday morning at Custy's.

here is a 48 seconds from another wednesday night "session" at Brogan's.

i sipped on a Bulmers for a couple of hours.  

heard on a late night radio station in Ireland . . . the DJ (presenter, host) of the show was telling a story about his grandfather.  the grandfather was asked "how are you today?"  his reply "above ground".  after a long day of flying from Shannon, Ireland to Philadelphia and then to Los Angeles and then taking the bus, i am home again and still. . . above ground.
