After a lecture on Dublin by an American Expat, we went to the James Joyce Center which was certainly interesting. Quotes from his books were on murals and engraved in this cow!
We walked around Dublin, had an early dinner and went to the Abbey Theater to see an all male production of The Importance of Being Earnest. The theater was not air conditioned. We all felt sorry for the actors: lights, double costumes and wigs.

Between Two Worlds
Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.
This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
