Good Morning

The Slightly Late Friday Five

Celebrating every ting that is Irish ...

1. Have you ever made corned beef and cabbage?

2. Will you be tipping back a decent pint of Guinness this weekend?

3. Do you own an Irish wool sweater?

4. Have you ever ‘met’ the Tart with a cart (i.e. have you been to Dublin)?

5. Do you believe in leprechauns?

Just Wondering

Having been in the situation once ...

Does your city have a problem with the homeless?

Do you think anything can realistically be done to correct/reverse this trend?

Do you know anyone who has become homeless through one reason or another?
