Ah . . . by all accounts, a delightful book that ought to be savored slowly . . . the book in one hand and a wee tumbler of Bushmill's in the other. Thank you for sharing information about what promises to be worth plenty of leisurely evenings.
ITA. Amazing, really, such a small country with so many amazing talents. Trouble is (though, not for me, not personally), Canada could take a page from the Irish book and really learn how to do it up-rightly right smartly. I thought about asking Ed Byrne if Christy Nolan's work was included; but, Ed scares me. I'm afraid he thinks I might be looking for something from him; and, rightly so; when I was editor of Black Moss Press, e.g, I had more "friends" than I care to remember. Am always wary of approaching others for exactly that reason.
Frank will tell you: The day he officially retired was the day I blustered into his emailbox and told him it was time :). Now? He's among the top five friends of my life, and I have the blessed honour of so saying.
BTW, R.T., if you want to learn how to do a link in a comment, here's a lesson on same, no prob since I'm a geek goddess; but, if not, nice to know you're among us, love your thinking about teaching and its nobler aspects; you provide me with faith not all those who enter the Academy do so for selfish reasons.
No wonder we feel the same way about Rand; thus, I join with by tipping back a long cool blast of pomegranate juice with lemon on the frosty side. Sláinte Mhaith . . . with little green umbrella, natch!
Oh, damn it all. I forgot to tell you to right-click on the page and select view source so you could see the .html code. But, while I'm here, a belated Irish joke:
An Irishman suspected of DUI is stopped in London by a couple of bobbies who try to give him a breathalyser. But he refuses on the grounds that he is asthmatic.
When a blood test is proposed, he also refuses on the basis of being a hemophiliac.
Finally, a urine test is suggested but the Irishman claims this would be in violation of the Anglo-Irish Accord.
Bobby: How on earth could a urine test violate the Anglo-Irish Accord?
Irishman: Because it says right in it that you Brits gotta stop taking the piss outta us Paddies! p.s. Got if off The Globe and Mail 'Site from the great John Doyle's piece on the Simpsons and Ireland. (I don't own a TV; I've never seen the Simpsons, sowwy; but, I learn everything I need to know about the tube from John Doyle, he's amazing and very Irish)

Judith Fitzgerald's WriteSite . . . See? Easy peasy.
HTH and you don't think I'm being all academic about this, eh? K. ;)
