I've been on the move a lot these days. In the last few weeks I've been on two car trips that have covered a large part of southwest County Cork. What a beautiful place. But more on that later! For now, a quick note to say that last night Jon & I watched the movie The Blues Brothers. He could not believe I hadn't seen it, and right he was. What a cast. I had no idea Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and James Brown all made singing appearances in this film. Wowee zowee.

After the movie we just had to re-watch this a few times:

And that eventually brought me to this:

I'll be back as soon as I can to blog about my adventures these last couple of weeks. However, the excitement never stops around here... My parents are in Dublin right now and on their way to Cork to visit us for a few weeks. This is great news. More Irish trips will ensue over Easter weekend, and general family bonding and chaos will be felt by one and all.
