Miscellaneous ramblings of an Irish American
Gabriel’s high school graduation ceremony was today. It was great event that everyone enjoyed. We could not be more proud of Gabriel. A lot has changed in the last 4 years and especially in the last one.
Come fall he’ll be heading south to college.
April 18th 1986 I stepped onto a plane in Dublin Ireland with a return ticket I was fairly certain I would not use.
Today I’m 35 years in America. Apparently I did not use that ticket!
Thanks for nothing New England
With another snow storm upon us what better time to make some indoor smores. My better 1/2 found this one online and it sure brightened up our evening.

Last nights full moon lit up our yard like daylight. Here’s a few photos from my 4am indoor walk. I did not edit or alter the images in any way. It’s nature and android at their best!
Jess and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary today. I have lots to be thankful for but one thing for sure…. Jess is a good listener.
With all that’s going on in the world one thing I really missed and it’s a bit silly…but I missed going to the movies.
Over the years we sometimes switch off..meaning one year I organized the surprise and others Jess did. Some times we went away, or out for a nice dinner. This year neither of us planned anything, well, Jess secretly did. A few days ago she said don’t make plans, do I didn’t.
We set off from the house and I was under strict instructions to close my eyes as it was a surprise. I tried to figure out where we were going but lost track. We ended up in the parking lot of O’neil cinema in Littleton MA. I was shock and didn’t know why we were there and asked if the cinema was open…Jess said…for us it is!
My darling wife rented a movie theater for us for our anniversary! Apparently you can do this! You need to supply your own Blueray DVD, you can order food and drinks and have the whole place to yourself.
We watched a classic “The fifth element”. It’s a great movie and even better on the big screen when you have it all to yourself.
Thanks Jess for a wonderful 21 years and a wonderful gift…..and best of all thanks for listening. Love you, Alan
According to MA laws our marriage can legally have a drink today! Happy Anniversary Jess, love you. Here’s to the next 21 and beyond years.
GMan had a big one today. If we lived in Ireland he could vote and have a pint!
