10 Questions About…

Today I revisited Dun Laoghaire with a walk down the east and west pier. Dun Laoghaire is about 7 miles from Dublin city center. It’s a port on the east side of the Dublin Bay. When the girls were little, we lived nearish to Dun Laoghaire or at least near enough to walk the pier regularly. So, this was a nostalgic trip. Sadly, Kate has been sick so she didn’t come.

It was a cold day. I think it was 40 degrees, which would be balmy in St Paul but between the wind off the ocean and the dampness, it’s bracingly cold. But I was rewarded by seeing four porpoises. I was sad not to see any seals but porpoises are a pretty awesome trade. They just seem so cheerful.

I also checked out the new library. Wowzer! The view from the window is from the library. It’s a fantastic addition to the town.

Tonight I met my friend Karina for drinks and dinner. It’s always fun to hang out with someone so smart that I’ve known for so long.
