A snowy commute to Dublin. We are in the dining room of the Dublin B&B in Ballsbridge (that bit of detail is for you, Diane) - both of us typing away on our laptops after the long drive. Bill is on Trip Advisor looking for a nearby restaurant. (Fun fact - Trip Advisor was started by the co-founder of CenterLine Software where Bill and I met.) Hoping for dry weather tomorrow as we have a lot to pack into one full day in Dublin.
We watched a big football match in Keily's pub in Dublin. Real Madrid, led by the lecherous Renaldo, took a shallacking from Barcelona, 5 - 0. For a Monday night the bar was full of young fans. It was billed as Renaldo vs. Messi. Messi was involved in almost everything going on. All Renaldo did was to shove the other coach. A strict no-no. We hate pretty boy Renaldo.
Jen and I were interested in the game, but when a picture on the wall of guy in a powdered wig started to move we were mesmerized. It was a digital photo and every twenty minutes or so the guy would, a la Harry Potter, do some weird thing. He'd start to smoke a cigar then realize he has to go back to posing so he didn't light it. Then he listened to his iPod before going back to being a picture in a frame. We're easily amused and distracted.

Have you done your William & Kate research project yet? :)
Hi Jen, Hi Bill,
Hope all is well! Hope TripAdvisor helped with the restaurant :-)
