I thank Ireland for:

[dbt]

Guinness.
Turf fires.
Uillean pipes.
The Pogues.
More shades of green than forty. Way more.
Caide mille failte as a way of life and not just a slogan.
Breakfast to make you slap your grandma.
Hillbillies.
Bluegrass music.
Moonshine.

10. For all of my ancestors...

and for the Irish people,who never,through hundreds of years of oppression and occupation,gave in and accepted it.

Also,for the poetry of Yeats...the music...the craic(especially in the snug at Kellys:)..and most of all for all the times over the years I've been welcomed there.
