I received this today...
An e-mail from Ireland to all their brethren in the United States... a point to ponder despite your political affiliation:
'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the States.
On one side, you had a pants-wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can't seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn't even like the country her husband wants to run!
Now, on the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate 'Mc' terminology, married to a good-looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship!
What, in the name of all that's holy, are ya lads thinkin' over in the colonies?!'

For the past two Sundays, my family has been transfixed by the current Masterpiece Theater success, Cranford, by Elizabeth Gaskell. It is witty, lively, and truly a treat to sit down at the end of the weekend and be entertained thusly. Cranford is a three-part series, and the first two are available online to view for a limited time. You can catch up here, and then sit with us this coming Sunday for the final installment. My 14-year-old laughs out loud at the subtle and not-so-subtle humor, and even Mo Chroi is thoroughly enjoying it. In this house of men, it is a hit, and that should say it all.
