May Day Holiday

I'm finally settled in Kilnamanagh, Dublin! The move from Haverhill, Massachusetts to Dublin, Ireland is now accomplished. It has been a somewhat exhausting experience and I'm glad I'm settled in a new home.

Today is a beautiful sunny day and a national holiday (May Day) here in Ireland.

One of the things I've noticed since arriving on Thursday it that everyone asks for my predictions about the American Presidential race. Generally the question is just a setup so they can tell me who is going to win! Most believe it will be McCain or Clinton. They watch a lot of Fox Cable News and CNN Cable News over here. Anyway, most seem surprised when I express the view that it will be Obama who will be the next President.

Now that I'm settled I hope to start posting commentary on a regulare basis. Comments are always welcome.
