I'll probably need to change the title on this blog, since it has now been over a year and I'm still here.
I'm alone in Dun Laoghaire as the family has gone back to the states for a summer visit. I plan to stay busy here with work, working out, projects, reading, and studying..
My mom just left the other day, too, after spending a couple of weeks with us at the end of a tour of Ireland.
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees, you multiply the Celsius figure by 1.8 and then add 32. To go the other way, subtract 32 and divide by 1.8. With that in mind, calculate the Fahrenheit equivalent of 26 degrees. We might get that hot in August. Meanwhile, they're getting a good dose of Texas summer.
My mom got mad at me when she overheard me mentally preparing Sierra for her summer vacation. I had to explain that Sierra was getting ready to leave the peace and quiet of Ireland to return to the madness of America in the middle of mid-term elections. So, here's a sample of news listings you won't hear on Fox News:
Our successes in Iraq mean that troop withdrawls might actually be accelerated.... or not. But that's OK, see, because Republicans really really want another World War. After all, war is good for business. (By the way, the keynote speaker for this event will probably need to be changed.) So, while war means good business overseas, it should also help with the energy crisis, right? Maybe I did the math wrong.
It should be OK, though, because summer vacation is here and the nation's future is in the secure hands of the Republicans
