Golly, last weekend was pretty amazing.  I

• flew back to Ireland for a very quick 3-day weekend,
• slept a great deal,
• got up early to go and meet the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, at her home for tea,
• spent an entire day treating Someone to birthday chocolate truffles and dinner and a movie,
• went to a wedding on a typical Dublin day — pouring rain in the morning, sunshiney and bright in the evening — where we drank loads of champagne, wine, and whiskey,
• ended the night swing dancing,
• got up early, checked my email, and discovered I’ve been called back for a second interview,
• headed to head to the airport,

but the best part was without a doubt, when I

• said goodbye to Someone in the airport for the last time.

Because next time I fly, it’s for good.
