Hello All -
I've been promising to
get a blog up and running for quite some time now, but as most of you know,
going for a long run straight off the couch seems a horribly committing idea,
as you're liable to tear something.
I'll bet you're thinking the
blog is just now starting up now?! But there's been so much over the last few
months! They can't possibly start up in the middle of Ireland. The middle is
so... wet.
As luck would have it,
we've been noting particularly notable events since leaving our beloved Hawaii
and all of its lovely inhabitants.
Some of these tidbits arrive
in the form of bullet points and single sentence quips, others in the form of
long drawn out exhibitions on the influence of the butter market on the
economic success of the new Irish Free State in the early 20th
century (sorry about that).
Neither Kelly nor I have
qualms with slowly filtering all of those examples of our erudition into the
blog during weeks of pure study and life hatred, in order to spare you from the
pessimistic view of a conflicted grad student at the beginning stages of a
lengthy unwelcome term paper.

Note: While you may think that my use of the
word “erudition” was as a result of my shameless involvement with a Thesaurus
that I’ve lovingly named Ducky (if you get that reference, you understand me
entirely), in fact, it stems from a far more shameless involvement with the
book Divergent.
All that said:
Due, in part, to Kelly’s
belief that time is an artificial construct, I can guarantee nothing in the way
of a linear blog timeline and plan to post topics at random, coincidentally mirroring
my thought process on a daily basis.
If there is anything
that you’d like us to look into while we’re here in Ireland, please let us know
and we’ll attempt to research your topic. If you’d like to know things we’ve
failed to mention about daily life here in Ireland, like common industrial ventures
or what the local cuisine has to offer, feel free to cast that query on over as
well… though I gotta tell you, the answer is probably dairy or potato related
and is yielding a highly suspect amount of flatulence from us both.
Hope you enjoy this
stumble down the bunny hole. As always, thanks for being part of our journey.
Sláinte!
Lizz and Kelly
