		<title>I&#8217;m really not a bad cook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is St. Patrick&#8217;s Day, which is a national holiday here.  However, I hear America parties more on this one than the Irish do.  I feel obligated to acknowledge the date given where I am located so I&#8217;ll report back on the state of an actual Irish St. Patty&#8217;s Day soon.  (I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Health Center Centre</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday night I developed a sore throat.  By Friday morning, my baby sinus infection was much worse, and I got desperate enough to figure out the employee health services since I only had a couple Sudafed left from home and wasn’t sure what I would find at a pharmacy (which all close by six [...]]]></description>

		<title>World&#8217;s End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[World&#8217;s End is the name of the location or neighborhood or whatever this place is.  I&#8217;m staying in the Trident Hotel, and that&#8217;s their address.  A lot of the homes and businesses here don&#8217;t seem to have (or at least use) numerical addresses, just names like Old Head and Seaward and Highlanes Gallery. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Springtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to Bandon, a bigger town, to do some immigration paperwork and lighten my wallet of €150 so they can process my GNIB card, which is basically the official permission to be here for a certain length of time.  I now have a bank account, too, with €0 in it.  I looked at [...]]]></description>

		<title>First days of work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I stopped at a little grocery in town to grab some food to supplement my hotel stay.  Matt: they have Orange Juice with Bits!  Get the strainer.  There are lots of biscuits but not many that look like cookies to me.  The eggs are kept on the shelf and you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Day 2: Do Not Disturb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They disturbed me despite the sign on the door, but I still slept a lot.
Driving from the airport yesterday, we had to stop for some hounds in the road.  Shortly after was a guy with a walking stick, and around the bend a couple of riders in dressage with their horses.  I can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business class FTW!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not a frequent flier, but I&#8217;ve been on enough flights to dread long ones in coach.  Get this: Business Class actually has enough room!  Not to mention free booze and a comforter and a real pillow and THEY GAVE ME SOCKS in my little baggie of personal items (toothbrush and lotion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arliss takes over the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a really trying day attempting to book flights and receive documents and fill out even more forms, but this makes up for it:
Arliss has her own blog!  Yes, that&#8217;s right, I kicked her to the curb while I went on a European adventure for a year and she has already taken over [...]]]></description>

		<title>I packed BBQ sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I STILL don&#8217;t have a work permit or plane ticket or firm start date, but I do have a tax number and a verbal agreement on a house to rent.  Next week I&#8217;ll probably work two days locally but I think my IT changes take effect Monday, rendering me useless on any company computer, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;But you fell out of the tall tower!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other quote I considered was: &#8220;She has huge&#8230; tracts of land&#8221;
One of the properties on our short list of where to live in Ireland is what I&#8217;m calling the Mother-In-Law Castle!

The Dower House, Kilbrittain, Co. Cork
It was built in the 17th century for the MIL of the lord of the ridiculous c. 1035 castle [...]]]></description>
