John O – That is the best way to write

Please don’t try to behave – it spoils the fun.

Grandad,
I guess I was being a little confusing, I apologize. When I wrote the blog I had a little too much of the Jameson and I was feeling a little like the new kid on the block that everyone looks at waiting for a screw-up. I enjoy your insight, keep them coming and I will try to behave myself. Hope you are well, and I will try to watch how much uisce beatha I’m having!! Slainte’

John O – You are confusing me? At my age that is easily done. Or maybe it’s too much whiskey and Guinness?

-did I offend someone or are we through? Read your latest, literary self-consciousness, what? I thought this was about being your self and sharing and caring, not how well you can speak, write, spell, but rather sharing thoughts and opinions and enlightening one another, maybe I’m wrong? I am just too simplistic???

Grandad,
I felt that I could look to you to keep me on the straight and narrow right from the get-go: because an Irish man of letters can always be trusted; never will I stray from the true water of life, Irish whiskey!!!!

What a lovely post. I have also made so many ‘virtual’ friends over the years. One that I will meet this year when I visit Spain, but many that I am happy to share some wonderful times with knowing that we will never meet.

Oh Geez!
Maybe there is no teaching an old dog.
Nonetheless I am determined to carry a fifth of Woodford county’s finest to try and try again to teach these semi-evolved simians what a good glass of…..
Nevermind. I’m not convinced that these neanderthals would know a Islip from a Highland much less a blended Canadian from (A GOD awful)Tennessee from a real and true Kentucky Bourbon.
sorry!

John O…..I live in Pa, Wherever you might be try Ezra Brooks for a low priced yet really good Bourbon. There is ‘Old Ezra’ if you can find it but, “Woodford Reserve”, is a GREAT single barrel Kentucky Bourbon that is somewhat commonly available all over(just not in Ireland).
BTW a fifth of Woodford Reserve here in Pa is $55 a fifth!!!

Too many comments to read, but I have a comment like yours. When I started, I had no idea where it would go…

Lets just say I am all the more richer, in my small part.

Thank you for being part of it

Why do I have “My little Horse” going through my head… damn Father Ted !!.. arrggggg
