A chairde —
I realize it's obligatory to say something about the recent election. That should just about cover it. Moving right along, It's been a little slow this past month for Matters Irish. That's okay, these things happen. This time of year seems more geared toward the Germanic and English holiday traditions, anyway — you know, when the days get shorter and things turn dark and grim. Those of us with a sunnier outlook just hang on and wait until the Spring, and the real important holidays like St. Patrick's Day, St. Joseph's Day, and, uh (what was that one? Oh, yeah) Easter.
