Catching up....
Christ I think I could write a book on the last few months -- and yet I somehow have managed to avoid this blog for three and a half months. You know the way you leave something aside, with the best of intentions, and then you just leave it there, casting guily glances toward it every once in a while....???
Well anyway that is how it has been recently.... And while I have been casting those guilty glances, Christmas passed us by, I quit Intel after ten and a half years there, Cian learned to ride his bike, I set up the framework of my consulting firm (and subsequently got bored by it), Cian got his first stitches after a nasty gash left its mark on his virgin forehead (nothing to do with bike riding by the way), Anne went to Switzerland for 12 days for a family funeral, we have started figuring out schools for Cian this September, we got our annual snowfall here in Portland and (coinciding with the snow) Colum arrived to launch his new book. Oh and our kitchen got (kinda) finished too....
Ah..... Life. We are faced with insurmountable opportunities.
So lots to cover... I'll try to break this out into a couple of different posts -- so I won't spill my guts in one brief post -- I will come back with more.... In the meantime here are some snapshots of a Christmas visit to the beach:
