Phone Call from Dublin

by |Published

I stayed up pretty late last night, rearranging the stereo and TV equipment in our living room (I get the “move stuff around” bug whenever Jodi leaves) and watching CSI and “Firefly”. Consequently, I was still sleeping when Jodi rang me from Dublin at 08:30. She and her sister arrived safely last night (which I knew because I could track their flight online), and have been trying to stay awake until they can get their first normal night of sleep. Apparently, staying-awake activities included a mansion tour and visiting some ruins outside the city.
