Church Craic

Eric and I are traveling in Ireland this week, spending today in the Malahide area, and finding ourselves in a bakery that every Teall or Brinkman would envy.

We ended the day at the bar in Jurys Hotel across from Christ Church Cathedral (900 years of Anglican and previously Catholic worship) where we attended Ash Wednesday Services, listening to this rendition of Ps 51 from antiphonal choirs. I could not help but think how much Carol would have loved hearing it.

We had apple berry crisp, cappuccino, sticky toffee pudding Patricia would have loved, and some wonderful bleu cheese.

We end the day with new Paddy Caps that Vincent men look fine in (you too, Zach), and look forward to visiting County Clare and the Cliffs of Moher tomorrow.

Apparently we both are family men, carrying all of you in our hearts.
