Entertainment Journalist Goes Visiting Again
Five years ago in KC I spent a scary night in intensive care beside a tracheotomy kit. The next day I was only just out of ICU and had barely touched my Lucozade when I got a call from a man upstairs (not to be confused with The Man Upstairs).
The raspy voice on the phone was fellow Dub Eddie Delahunt and there in St Luke’s we had a conversation sounding like two old croaky Dublin gangsters, before I toddled upstairs because I could walk and he couldn’t.
Eddie’s stay in hospital was infinitely longer and more serious than my own. And now as we come up to the fifth anniversary of every Irish person I know in the Kansas City area calling Hearne Christopher Jr names following a visit to Eddie in hospital at that time, well, Christopher has been visiting again.
This time the visit is to Eddie’s Cafe & and the worst thing about it is probably a few patronising puns.
