Because it is St. Patrick’s Day (and there are helicopters hovering all over Central Park because of the darned parade and I really hate the sound of hovering helicopeter), I thought I’d take a trip through the archives to that time nearly 4 years ago when my mother and I visited Susie while she studied abroad in Dublin. We visited Kong–where they filmed a Compton family favorite, The Quiet Man. Anywho, enjoy these pics and try not to be too annoyed by all of the drunk people today.
Hello? I Forgot My Mantra. 
Drunk parade goers in head to toe kelly green are the worst. And I live in a constant helicopter zone — I think it has to do with basketball? Copters every night!!
I was thinking about t his trip recently. I will be holed up per usual on St. Paddy’s day, grumbling…
I was thinking of it no doubt because I was wearing that same darn blue raincoat in the drizzling rain trying to take pictures…
