If the Third Times the Charm I Missed It

I  have to say that what I love best about working in the Dail is the number of awesome things that I get to go to that I have no business being at. Walking around the Dail in general is one big thing, the election night bonanza and then this past week going to a book event where the former Tiosheach spoke. 

Bertie Ahern the past Tioseach spoke at a book launch at the EU headquarters in Dublin this past week. I and a few students were one of maybe 75 people there. They had cheese and fruit and wine going around and just up in front of the lobby was the man him self. We all stood around while he and three other guys gave quick little 10 minute speeches on  Irish reunification. It was amazing. I love hob nobbing with rich elites. 

This past week has been pretty boring except for that. Mom and the gang get here tomorrow!!! Laurel fly's in at 6:30 tonight. I'm about to head off and pick her up. It's going to be a great weekend!

Will, I've seen two pictures with you smiling!!! (on La's journal) No more excuses with no smile pictures, you're very cute with teeth showing! Going to Wiconsin tomorrow for turkey day. Seems like we have been on the road alot without all the wonderful stories and pictures you have...I guess Decatur and Champaign don't inspire vacation type photo shoots. It will be Dec soon, the month you all come HOME!!! Kay
