Greetings and blessings to all...
The warmest of welcomes to everyone, especially our newest readers - many thanks for signing up and please feel free to share our musings and meanderings with your family and friends.
We hope and pray this week's edition finds you in good health, good spirits and good company. As for ourselves, we're thrilled to have just learned that in the Six Nations Rugby Tournament, Ireland has ended their 19-year wait for a Triple Crown in champagne style at Lansdowne Road with a win over Scotland 37 to 16. While it's not enough to win the Six Nation's title, we're certain the players and fans are over the moon.
Hard to believe that April's almost here. While it seems to be catching us by surprise this year, Mother Nature is right on schedule; the lilac bush is leafing, the daffs are in full bloom and all around us, you can feel spring in the air. So, "Pinch, punch, first day of the month, white rabbit!" And for all of you getting married this month or who tied the knot in April, here's the old Irish verse:
"Marry in April if you can, joy for maiden and for man!

Co. Dublin - The city of Dublin has been ranked seventh in the latest survey of international locations for office space costs. At $69.63 per square foot per annum, the Irish capital was behind London, Tokyo and Paris, but -
somewhat surprisingly - ahead of New York, Moscow and Frankfurt.
Co. Clare - The Fitzpatrick Bunratty Shamrock Hotel is building thirty-nine holiday cottages which will mirror the nineteenth century village street at the nearby Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. According to the hotel's Paul Fitzpatrick, the street has been designed to blend in with the Folk Park's street and it will also include some retail units.
Co. Cork - The Government has granted 60 million for the construction of a new School of Music
Co. Dublin - On Wednesday, A mass was held in Dublin's St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral in memory of those killed in the Madrid bombings. The memorial service was organised by the Spanish embassy and was timed to coincide with the one taking place in Madrid.
Co. Fermanagh - Kesh is the location for the first ever Shaolin Martial Arts Academy to be opened in the country. The Academy has been established by Italian Kung Fu master Danny Khalid who trained with the Shaolin monks in Singapore and it is situated in a gym owned by local man Tyrone Monaghan.
Co. Limerick - Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa visited a number of areas of the county during St Patrick's week prior to his more formal visits to University of Limerick and Limerick Institute of Technology.

Vienna, Austria - A pub which was transported brick by brick from the village of Churchtown in north Cork to Vienna has just been named as Europe's best Irish bar. Flannery's was once owned by author Maeve Binchy's grandparents and eight years ago it was dismantled and re-erected in Vienna, acquiring the name of Flanagan's pub. A search sponsored by Expedia.com had student Che Murphy visiting pubs all over Europe where the test was to see which Irish staff could best pour a pint of Guinness and create a shamrock decoration on the top, while at the same time singing the national anthem. Flanagan's is owned by Alan Field and had a queue of two hundred outside its doors on St Patrick's Day.
Canada - A Memorandum of Understanding for bilateral scholarship exchanges between Ireland and Canada, inaugurating the scholarship awards programme for 2004, was signed in Ottawa by the Ireland Canada University Foundation and the Ireland Fund of Canada. For details about the program, click: http://www.icuf.ie
Gozo, Gibraltar's sister island - Thanks to the son of a subscriber, Maire Daly, the island celebrated its very first St. Patrick's Day event! Maire's son Sean is half-owner of a pub and threw himself into arranging an outstanding evening that will be long remembered by family, friends and all in attendance.

Gordon McCleary writes:
I am going to be coordinating a "Taste of Ireland" fair in Cairo, Georgia on June 27th. My website gives somewhat of an idea of what I am planning. http://ajmacproductions.com/toc.htm
Gordon is looking for musicians, entertainers, and educators. "This is a paying gig!" He's also interested in hearing from vendors. You can visit his website or contact him by email: gordomac44@yahoo.com
Last week, Mike wrote: "I have a Capitol record by John McCormick that has My wild Irish Rose on one side and is completely blank on the other. When I say blank I mean a smooth surface; is there anything you can tell me about this record? It has a number 64426."
In response, John Phillips writes: Tell Mike that the old large 78 records that played on large victrolas that you wound up only had one side to them. THese were still common in the 1930's but most came from the 20's and before. I remember fondly winding up the old single record victrola and playing Irish records on it. Most Irish families had one. Tell Mike to take extremely good care of that record as it is never to be found again. (Thanks, John!)
Warning from "Emeraldbanshee": Going around the internet. May or may not be true, but worth reading. A woman was approached in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and asked what kind of perfume she wears. Then they asked if she'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing to sell her at a very reasonable rate. She probably would have agreed had she not received an email some weeks ago warning of a 'Do you want to smell this neat perfume?' scam. THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER! Sniff enough of it, and you'll pass out. Then they'll take your wallet, your valuables, and heaven knows what else.
Kathleen wrote to us about the proposed extension to the highway very close to the Hill of Tara. We've mentioned this several times before, but it's so important that we think it's worth mentioning again. She suggests e-mail/write/call Bertie Ahern, T.D. Taoiseach and ask that he re-direct the M3 highway around the Tara/Skryne Valley and to designate the Tara/Skryne Valley as a sacred world heritage site according to the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, signed by Ireland in Paris in 1972.

A BIT O' THE WIT
Don't know if the following is true or not - but, we enjoyed it all the same:
At Trinity Law School, the professor asked a student if he knew what the Roe vs. Wade decision was. He sat quietly, pondering this profound question. Finally, after giving it a lot of thought, he sighed and said, "I believe, sir, this was the decision George Washington made prior to crossing the Delaware."

OUR FAVORITE JOKE OF THE WEEK
This one's adapted from one sent in by our friend AG - thank you!
The first priest says, "You know, since the warm weather started, I've been having trouble with mice in my church. I've tried everything - noise, cats, spray, nothing seems to scare them away." The second priest says, "My church, too. There are hundreds of them living in the cellar. I've set traps and even called in an expert exterminator. Nothing has worked so far." The third priest says, "I had the same problem. So I baptized them all and made them members of my parish. Haven't seen one of them since."

THIS WEEK'S RIDDLE
First off, congrats to Hartson Dowd who was not only first with the riddle answers, but also with the answers to our literary quiz. Well done on both counts!
Here are the answers to last week's groaners:
Q. What do you get if you cross a four-leaf clover with poison ivy?
A. A rash of Irish luck
Q. Why did St. Patrick drive all the snakes out of Ireland?
A. He couldn't afford the air-fare
Q. What do you call an Irishman who keeps bouncing off walls?
A. Rick O'Shea
Q. Why can't you borrow money from a leprechaun?

Enough of the silliness - we're back this week with what we hope is a good cranium-cracker:
A man was found shot dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for."Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered?

NEXT WEEK, GOD WILLING:
With Easter in just a couple of weeks or so, we'll be dusting off our seasonal articles as well as making every effort to bring you fresh material. Since it's the beginning of the month, we'll have a new trivia contest posted on Wednesday and hopefully, another story for children from Grainne. By the way, Hartson brought to our attention several stories and reviews that somehow went missing in our index. We've added them back in and suggest you check those pages to see if there are any you may have missed. One story is still "lost", but we're doing what we can to recreate "Kate's Ancient Gift." As always,we'll have the usual blessing on Sunday, our bi-weekly Irish lesson on Tuesday (this one's related to travel), a new quote on Wednesday and a recipe from Hartson towards the end of the week.
That about wraps it up - except for the "essential" goings-on in our crazy calendar - most of em' frivolous, but some serious: That just about wraps it up - except for the "essential" goings-on in our crazy calendar - most of em' frivolous, but some serious: Today is national"Joe" day (we have no idea what this means!) Equally bizarre are tomorrow's Something on a Stick Day and Monday's Smoke & Mirrors Day! A bit more sensible is Doctor's Day on March 30, only to be followed on March 31st with Bunsen Burner Day and National Clam on the Half Shell Day. April Fools Day is next (which is also National Tatting Day) followed by Children's Book Day, Reconciliation Day and National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day on April 2nd. Celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other special event this week? We hope it's a joyous occasion for you and yours! Can't wait to find out what's coming up for the rest of the month? Check out:
