The sunny south east - Florida (not Waterford)!

We really enjoyed our time in Naples Florida in October catching some very pleasant fall weather while Eoin discovered that pools are alot of fun. We really dig his full body swimsuit (thanks gran) - it saved alot of messing with sunscreen!

Comedy time in Chicago

Ricky Gervais is currently doing a stand up (comedy) tour in the US and Biz took me to see him for my birthday last week. "Shock and awe" is how I would describe the theme where nothing was off limits and stories / jokes were laced with humurous and unapologetic cruelty - great stuff.

Billy Connolly also happens to be in town this week and we are going - I grew up watching both videotapes of his live stand up shows (my cousin John and I watched them after school) and his TV series where he explored countries while touring around the world. His sense of humor was hilariously crude (with his distinct Scottish accent) and he never failed to make me laugh heartily. I am smiling in anticipation : - )
