Elizabeth wants to make sure I did not go hoodlum on the newsroom in light of the French travesty against the Irish. She points out our inate ability to embrace these kinds of things, and she's right. This should actually make our weekend.
As the great William Butler Yeats wrote: "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy."
This shall be the mantra. Especially since I'm driving to Detroit today (does one do that of their own free will?).
Soccer again? Man, you're making me regret giving you the business about always being on Mangini's case. Soccer is about as much fun to talk about as it is to watch. And that's saying something about a sport that has zero value after the age of 10. It's only significance is in milfs driving the soccer mom vans now.
Pat, speak with any of your relatives in Ireland? Curious to hear what they had to say, not that it would be any different than what you have posted re: links, stories, etc.
I miss the Mangini Bashing, but the folks at Cleveland Scene have picked right up

Dear Thierry,
Thanks!
Sincerely,

cnpeters – that was kind of disgusting. However, I'm not hard-core Browns Fan, so maybe that's my problem.
I'm a little surprised even The Scene would stoop that low. Moreso in the fact of it being disrespectul of the people killed by Sowell.
