Visiting Ireland has long been one of my deepest desires. I have Irish ancestry on both sides of my family, but sadly very little of the Irishness has been passed down, save my red hair, a few sayings, and tall tales that are no longer credited to their birthplace, but relegated to Ozarkian culture.
As a history teacher, I include a…

A trip to the West of Ireland would be a lifetime dream come true for me. I have never been to Ireland and have always had a great longing to go. I live in the western side of San Francisco and have many Irish friends and neighbors. There is a spirit among these people like no other I have felt before. My Irish friends are loving, spirited and proud people with a gift of gab. I love spending time with these lovely people. I have some Irish roots but have not formally explored my…

I seem to be always thinking, dreaming, planning my next trip to Ireland. Born and brought up in an Irish/American family, Irish references, jokes, songs and the inevitable quote have always been a part of me. The neighborhood where I spent the first 20 years of my life was full of "comeovers", the Sugrues', Hogans, McElroys', Costigans', O'Grady's of my childhood told many a story that always fascinated me, creating a yearning that was finally satisfied in 2007. A grand trip with my…

Endless shades of green everywhere you look
Sounds of water from a babbling brook
Fresh smells the air after a summer shower
As we walk the woods you can feel the power
Of a land whose people love so dear
And with each step taken dwindles our troubles and fears
Soon we gather and board into the Blue Beast
And with steady driver at the helm we head to a pub for a feast
Soon voices, music, and laughter fill the air
And we celebrate…

“Ah, my darlin, surely you've got the map of Ireland on your face.” He always dropped his “g’s” when speaking. Perhaps it was still a hint of Ireland in his voice.
As a boy, he along with enough…
