We have gone to a pub a couple times called The Quays (pronounced Keys), and it is a pretty cool, typical Irish pub. Cheap pints here, and a Guinness is only €3.80 with no tipping.
Both times we have been there, they have had a traditional Irish band playing, but they don't always play traditional songs.
Two that stand out in my memory, and Jerry will surely appreciate this were: Redemption Song, and The Games People Play.
Weird, but fun. Actually, not like I didn't expect Irish musicians to know or sing "american" songs, but to just switch back and forth, well, I felt like I might as well be at Nick's pub or McGurks. Ah well.
Sometimes, with all of the tourists and other students from the program around, it is hard to remember that I am in a completely different country, and not just some other city. It sinks in when we are out in the countryside, but still, there are always so many tourists! I wonder what it would be like to live there and have to deal with those people all the time. St. Louis surely doesn't have the influx of tourism that this place does, and I have a feeling that if that were the case, it would get old.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!! Life in Kirkwood went on as usual. The street fills up around 9:30am and there must have been 1,000 people...3/4 of them under 2!!!
It was cute, Mrs. Walsh in a golf cart, and neighbors with grandkids.
Margot is not going to live much longer. Vicky is there and I feel so sad for her, but it is necessary. I took a big Tuna Nicoise over last night and they were thrilled. Making rice salad today for the Boomarito's party, but it has been raining off and on all day.

Have fun with the friends and experiences, all about LIVING LIFE!!! Love you! Mom and DAD

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

So, Jerry, who wrote that song originally? I was definitely singing along, even though the tempo was much slower.
