Greetings and blessings to all...
A warm welcome back and a special hello to our newest subscribers. It was really exciting to see our numbers go up to nearly 1700 readers. Many thanks for signing up and please feel free to share our musings and meanderings with your family and friends.
We hope this edition finds you fit as a fiddle and in fine fettle! As for ourselves, we're sorry to report there is no news of our missing pet, Roxie. However, we still cling to the hope she will come home - especially since so many of you wrote to say you are praying for her and told us about cats who showed up months, even years, later! The outpouring of comforting messages has been astonishing and we thank each and every one of you for trying so hard to make us feel better.
Around the country, Mother Nature let it be known how fickle and extreme she can be, what with tornadoes in Texas, blizzard conditions in Minnesota, and temperatures in the mid-seventies here in the Ohio Valley; however, we can't put the winter woolies in mothballs yet, the forecast is for freezing cold and snow showers on Monday. As Bridget's mother used to say "don't cast a clout until May is out!"
Speaking of mothers - March 21st is Mothering Sunday in Ireland, the equivalent of Mother's Day in the USA. So, if your mother lives there (or elsewhere in Europe), be sure to do something special for her.
Other than the newsletter, have any of you received an e-mail that appears to come from Irish Culture and Customs? It may say 'from' staff@irishcultureandcustoms.com and it may also have an attached folder called "More info" with instructions to open the folder. This message did not come from us. It is our understanding that this is a very nasty virus or worm, so don't, under any circumstances, open the folder. Simply delete the message and cross your fingers that the cyber-police will catch the egits who are doing this.
Enough about us...
In news from Ireland:
Co. Armagh: Armagh City and District Council has agreed in principle to take over the running of the Navan Interpretative Centre which is attached to the neolithic fort; some people are predicting that after being closed for three years, it could reopen this summer.
Dublin: The inaugural IRMA Honours went to Christy Moore for his remarkable achievements and contribution to Irish Music over the last forty years. The black tie gala event was attended by a host of stars from the world of music and entertainment including Edge, Ali Hewson, Guggi, Rasher, Brenda Fricker, Paul McGrath, D-Side, Paddy Casey, Damien Dempsey, Neil Hannon, Joe Dolan & David Kitt.
Co. Waterford: Marine experts believe that an abundance of sprat in the Waterford estuary is one of the factors in attracting a school of some forty dolphins to the area last week.
Co. Galway: Chef Padraic Kielty recently returned from the Istanbul Gastronomy Festival with three gold medals and two silver medals. Padraic is head chef at Vina Mara Restaurant in Galway's Middle Street and he is already the holder of a number of national awards for his cooking skills. Chefs from twenty-two different countries took part in the competition and the Irish team, of which Padraic was the only member from the West, came home with a total of twenty-nine medals.
Co. Limerick: The centuries old gates at St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick, have been replaced as a gift from the giant Aughinish Alumina plant on the Shannon Estuary.
Co. Longford: One man who already knows he has a place in the Olympic line-up in Athens is Fenagh's Derek Burnett, the only full-time clay pigeon shooter in Ireland. Having come fifth in the World Championships in Finland two years ago, Derek's place is assured and he has been able to spend his time preparing for the event.
Co. Kildare: The first European-based company to receive the new Information Security Standard IS 17799 is Wyeth Medical Ireland, based in Newbridge. A special ceremony was held at Government Buildings, where Taoiseach Bertie Ahern presented Wyeth with its certificate of compliance.
Co. Derry: A plaque is to be erected to the memory of the late James McCafferty at the Foyle Arts Centre on the Magee campus of the University of Ulster. The memorial to the musician, who died in 1995 and who had a long association with music in Derry and throughout Ireland, has been initiated by the university in conjunction with Derry City Council and the Honourable Irish Society.
In news from all over:
Twickenham, England - Six Nations Rugby: Ireland won a marvellous victory against World Champions England at Twickenham today to put themselves in with a chance of winning a first Triple Crown since 1985. A try from Girvan Dempsey and four penalties and a conversion by Ronan O'Gara were enough to give Ireland a narrow 19-13 victory.
Cincinnati, Ohio: It's happened again - the annual pilfering of the St. Patrick statue from Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. The stone statue, which stands at least six feet, was carried away by six strapping men in kilts. St. Patrick was then loaded into an Acme Tree Service truck, while the church congregation sang, "When Irish Eyes are Smiling." Bagpipers and dozens of others dressed in green paraded through the streets with the statue, posing for crowds with flashing cameras. The annual thievery dates to 1970, the year Holy Cross, the traditionally Irish parish, merged with Immaculata, the German parish. Following the final Mass at Holy Cross church, Jim Crowley and friends loaded St. Patrick onto a flatbed truck - but not before they swapped him with a smaller, one-foot version of St. Patrick that Crowley borrowed from Crowley's Irish Pub. The stealing and parade have since become a tradition, carried on by the Ancient Order of Hibernians The statue reappears just in time to lead the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, which this year is on March 14.
From the mailbag:
We received the following request from Frances:
My mother, Frances McGinley was born in Letterkenny and lived right beside the church of St. Columkill. She came to America in 1929 and brought with her a box of garton clay from Garton near Churchhill that only the male members of the Friel family, who were the direct descendents of St. Columkill, were able to lift without it falling apart. She also believed it would keep people safe while traveling. Can you tell me something about this legend of "lifting the garton clay"? Thank you.
We also received this request from Gary:
Can anybody please help me to find a Russian translation of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" ? This is a serious inquiry. Any leads would be most appreciated.

OUR FAVORITE JOKE OF THE WEEK
A Kerryman was playing Trivial Pursuit. It was his turn. He rolled the dice and landed on "Science & Nature." His question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?" He thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
__________________________________________________________
DID YOU KNOW...
1. Murphy is the most common surname in Ireland? In Irish it means 'sea hound.'
2. Dublin has the oldest maternity hospital in Europe - the Rotunda? (a most appropriate name, we're thinking!)
3. The word quiz was invented by an 18th century Dubliner? He won a bet that he could introduce a new word by chalking it on walls around the city. Since nobody knew what it meant, the word acquired the meaning it has today.

"What were we celebrating? At this rate, the Angelus doesn't have a chance of remaining on RTÉ if we've managed to get St. Patrick out of his own parade."
Irish Times reporter Stephen Harris on not seeing a single figure of the saint in the 1998 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin.

Patricia Edwards
This site belongs to a friend I met over the park walking our respective dogs. She is a folk singer/composer and guitarist and so far I have attended one of her gigs locally. Her music is a mixture of Celtic & New Age and I enjoy listening to it, especially as her latest CD has a tune called Guinevere (my nickname on msn sites).

THIS WEEK'S RIDDLE
First off, the answer to last week's poser:
Mr. and Mrs. Murphy have six daughters and each daughter has one brother.
Q. How many people are in the Murphy family?
A. Nine
Congratulations to Brenda Ross who was first in with the correct answer. An honorable mention goes to Susan who said "probably just the eight, the boy would have run off long since!"
Now for our next head-banger:
A man was going on a one-way bus trip. He intended to ride for a certain distance, get off the bus and walk back to town. If the bus travels at a rate of nine miles per hour and he was to jog back to town at a rate of three miles per hour, how far would he ride so that he'd be back in eight hours?

NEXT WEEK, GOD WILLING:
We'll be doing a piece on the 2004 St. Patrick's Day Festival in Dublin; we'll also have the usual blessing on Sunday and quote on Wednesday. We are remiss in not getting a recipe from Hartson posted - we'll try to do that early next week. And, we have a huge backlog of music and book reviews to get through. First up, No Irish Need Apply by the Gallant Sons of Erin. Look for that early in the week as well.
So that's about the long and the short of it , except for the always critically important dates on our wild and wacky calendar - some important, others just plain old fun and frivolous: We got a bit ahead of ourselves last week in mentioning Dentist's Day and Frozen Food Day which are both celebrated on March 6. Tomorrow and Monday is Purim, a Jewish holiday of joy which celebrates how the Jews of Persia narrowly escaped annihilation thanks to the bravery of Queen Esther. March 8 is also International Working Women's Day. On March 9, it's 0rganize Your Home Office Day (it will take us much longer than one day to do that!). It's also Employee Appreciation Day. March 10 is Alexander Graham Bell Day which commemorates when he transmitted the first successful phone conversation, saying to his assistant, "Mr. Watson, come here!" In England, March 10 is also No Smoking Day. March 11 is Johnny Appleseed Day and Worship of Tools Day (huh?) On March 12, you can celebrate the birthday of the USA Girls Scouts which was founded on this date in 1912, or you can putter in the garden in honor of Plant a Flower Day. This day is also the anniversary of when Coca Cola was first sold in bottles. Wonder how it was sold before? Celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special event this week? We hope it's a joyous occasion for you and yours! BTW, in last week's newsletter, we forgot to mention that March 4 is the anniversary of when Clayton F. Summy published the song Happy Birthday to You. The year was 1924. Can't wait to find out what's coming up for the rest of the month? Check out: http://www.butlerwebs.com/holidays/march.htm or
http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/march.htm
Until next time, may God keep you and your loved ones from all harm, and, as they say in Ireland, mind yourself.
