It’s been a rough month. Erin go bragh! And England too. Hell, the whole damned place. The Chieftains, Tim O’Brien along with a few young stepdancers toward the end of “Shady Grove.” David Gibb performs “A Begging I Will Go.” Scottish band Capercaillie featuring the soaring vocals of Karen Matheson. Harlequin’s Glance (wtf kind of band name is that?) from Vienna performs “Raggle Taggle Gypsy.” Riverdance as it was in 1994 when created, as a short interval act in a song contest called Eurovision. Less is more, in my opinion. Dancer Jean Butler and choreographer/dancer Michael Flatley at their best. Van Morrison performs “Marie’s Wedding.” I&#8217...

In the most high profile of the three cases, Melissa Redmond was eight weeks pregnant when she was told late last year by doctors at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, that her baby had died. Just prior to undergoing a procedure to have the fetus removed, Redmond sought a second opinion, where it was determined that her child was, indeed, alive. The boy, Michael Jr., is now 13-weeks old according to BBC News. “The health scanner [at Our Lady of Lourdes] was not fit for purpose,” Redmond’s husband, Michael, said. &...

Or just someplace smaller, and greener. This being St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I’d look up Ireland.

The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer.

Within minutes Facebook was awash in the news. Radio DJs announced they were planning tributes. Others, including me, posted Clancy Brothers videos. I found a clip of Liam Clancy singing “The Patriot Game,” the ballad written by Dominic Behan, brother of renowned Irish playwright Brendan Behan. I had not heard the song in years, but even so, I discovered I knew it by heart. I am neither Catholic nor descended from Irish ancestors, but you could not have guessed that from my family’s record collection. While my parents also had bagpipe music and such evocative titles as “Folk Music from Many Lands,” we had every record ever released by ...

And so they examined three issues - What are the policies and procedures within each agency for dealing with conflicts of interest? Is there COI between senior people employed by these agencies and people in their key advisory committees and the pharmaceutical industry? Is information about employees’ and advisers’ COI made public? Their findings, which were published in Social Science & Medicine, s...

I'm not enormously bothered by ants per se, but there's just something about this that is immensely pleasing.Take it or leave it.On a more sour note, the British and Irish Lions lost their series against the SpringBoks this weekend. I've got a 101 reasons why they didn't deserve to, but that just makes me sound even whinier than usual, and as a Brit, I don't need a great deal of help doing this.

I was distracted by other things and then, before I knew it, I was running down the stairs to meet Charlie’s schoolbus, and watching him make his lunch, and helping him practice the cello, and then (even though it must have been the coldest day of the year) we went on our daily walk up and down the main boulevard of the condo development we live in. As it had been snowing on and off since Friday, there were medi...

I saw Lindsey Buckingham on Saturday night at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Here’s an artist who maybe puts out a solo album every ten years and then he puts out two in two years! “Gift of Screws” (a reference to an Emily Dickinson poem) is more upbeat than last year’s very introspective “Under the Skin”. It comes out on Tuesday and will be on iTunes and amazon.com. I love everything he’s ever done. I could have sat there all night just listening to his guitar. If you click the link above, you can hear the first “single” off the CD, “Did You Miss Me”. It’s worth the click! *********************** We kicked major Michigan behind this week!

Well…….I didn’t. My husband Jim is a cultural historian at a Jesuit university in New York City; he is completing a project on the longshoremen who worked on the piers of the New York/New Jersey waterfront—on the Irish waterfront. I never got too far with math myself but several relatives (including my mother’s father) were or are engineers (electrical, civil, mechanical, material sciences)—-I guess you could say, they have the knack. For me, it’s safe to say that (in the words of Professor Henry Petroski), “To engineer is human” and very much so.

Nice person right?When I was little, I was sick of hearing all of the Italian screaming and yelling at holidays and all of the hairy people too. My dad made us kiss everyone in the room when we went somewhere. Imagine the horror of a six year old child closing in on a strange woman's mustache as you are about to kiss her. Let me assure you that it was absolutely revolting. The only thing that made it tolerable was knowing that my little sister was right behind me absolutely terrified.The Irish I thought, had it all. Everyone was always laughing and singing at their parties. No hairy mustache people to kiss, no crying and no spaghetti. I especially wanted the freckles.So, to all of you Irish people out there tod...
