Heidi,

Thanks.

#101 is one of my favourite memories and forms the statrt and end of a book I haven’t written.

Yes, the policeman caught me. I got into trouble. Since then I start running when I see them, before they even start chasing me - to give me a head start, like.

I love #89, the “shower” miming girl! Also #101, I do believe I’d giggle if surrounded too. I certainly am giggling right now just at the thought of it!

Did that policeman ever catch you?

These are great! Wonderful way to waste away the workday.

35 Is hilarious, 39 is inspiration, 51- I know so many guys like that!, and 89 is pure genius!

Eolai, I love your “Kinsale III” painting. It happily evokes more than I actively recall. I hope you were always happy with it.

I like you enough to be glad you’re safely home.

I’ll join others in remembering you in the Rosary, and should I forget, may you thrive all the more for it.

Excellent, you have the life and a brave man for admitting to Toyah.

Zeta and Sassy - I think it’s easy to write a great book, just so long as you never let anybody see it

Yes, I know the numbering of the numbering was hideous, but rather than write in my own blog, which I’m too lazy to do, I just wanted to read yours and make useless comments, which would be read by your readers who would wonder why I bothered. That’s a quiet weekend for you. Btw, I think you have much more interesting adventures than some, so if Rory Stewart and Ewan McGregor can make a living off traveling and drinking tea with people, why not you? I’d buy your book. The list would make a nice starting place…

The husband, not one to write comments himself, has blatantly stolen this post! He printed it off, highlighted #83 and declared it one of the best comebacks he’s ever heard. A preacher friend of ours intends to use it post haste. (not from the pulpit, however)

Thanks for all you do, Eolai. Sorry about the fall out with the KC Irish fest. Sometimes no matter how good the intentions, you get kicked in the teeth.

hugs…

Kinda wish I hadn’t numbered them now - anybody else sick and tired of scrolling up and down?

Medbh - camel? Maybe. If I do a short cycle of 10 or 20 miles in 100 degree heat I’d like a dry piece of bread when I finish. If a cold beer is on offer I’ll certainly take it, or maybe a diet-coke, but nothing fruity including not Gatorade, because they give me hives. Yes, tea whether 5 miles or 135 miles.

SassyWho - the soundtrack to the Sheep’s Last of The Mohican style leap of self-sacrifice was me going Noooooo!

And the women laughing at me from under their houses (built on stilts) was the most humbling thing I’ve experienced. I recommend it to everybody.

Primal - nice observation of blogger’s etiquette. And never mind the quality, feel the length. You put me in fine company.

Zeta - Did I leave out the one where I walked for miles, and then climbed a tree to sleep? Turns out that was a bad idea.

Greagoir - I should have limited you and Zeta on the number of numbers you can reference. Or maybe you can wait for the post on each one?

I’ll have to question you about 17, 24, 54, 59, and 60, for starters.

15, 19, 31, 40, esp. 71, oh yeah.

Thank goodness not 50!

102: Wandered into a field, climbed a tree, and contemplated Aristotle’s writings. At midnight. Just because.
