Playing hooky in Ireland
Well, I'm back from traveling. For most of it my wife and I were vacationing in Ireland. Then I did some business traveling. Our plan in Ireland was to take it easy. In the afternoons, my wife would would write and I would work on LibraryThing by wifi. Riiiight. In Dublin, that sometimes worked—I treaded water on emails. But in Connemara? See photo below for my startling discovery: the density of wifi and of rocks and sheep are inversely related.
Well, I'm back, rested and ready. Things are gonna speed up again. Thanks for keeping the faith while I was gone.

Glad you enjoyed Ireland, that picture of the west makes me homesick.
Yup, Irish, resident and all!
oooh lovely. Not been to the West, although regular vistor to Dublin and Co. Wicklow (relatives in Dublin - that where you are Deirdre?) ... you lucky man, I would have thought it a bonus that wifi didn't work !

Turns out the density of LibraryThing users leaving comments and of rocks and sheep in Connemara are directly related.
welcome back! It looks like a was a beautiful trip...
Yup I'm in Dublin, tho I'm originally from Galway 8)
I have an ancestor who was supposed to have come to America from Dublin, fought in the Revolutionary War with Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox), and died during the war. I have a copy of his land grant from George III for a plot in South Carolina, but I have never been able to trace anything about him in Ireland. I wonder if deirdre has any ideas of how to go about investigating . . .
Sorry for straying from the LT topic.
Now that is a place I'd like to visit. That and Scotland. What a beautiful sight.
