Blimey - that's very kind of you Sheamus.
I'm sure 2007 will be even more fun. Have a great new year celebration and as they say on all good blogs: 'see you on the other side.'
Thanks, Seamus! Have a Happy New Year!
PS. Sarah, Dennis and Sigurd are all good, non-virtual friends of mine =)
Just home from an amazing night with friends where we discussed Richard Thompson, Billy Bragg, Puccini, Rodin, Richard Russo, Jane Austen, Uncle Tupelo, Ian McEwan, the Toronto Maple Leafs and much, much more besides.
To come home and read this, drunk as I am - on wine and conversation - is simple joy,
Thank you Sheamus. Go raibh maith agat. You're a man who walks lightly through this life, yet you leave a deep mark.
Happy New Year.
