It’s my daughter’s first birthday today, so my sister and aunt and uncle are visiting us here in Dublin. What a lovely day! Birthdays are delicious. Some people don’t make a big deal of birthdays. Others love them. For me, it and Thanksgiving are the two best (and non-secular!) holidays. Thanksgiving gives us space to [...]
