Because of work commitments here in New York over the Christmas holiday I had to cancel plans to be in Ireland for the New Year. As a (mostly) itinerant worker, I’ve always been grateful to have work on holidays, but this year I must confess to be just a little bit bummed out. I was looking forward to some splendid isolation as an antidote to the past few hectic months, catching up with friends who just had a baby, hiking the mountains in the freezing cold, and reading next to a roaring fire with a healthy tumbler of whiskey to see out the evening. However, most of all, I think I will miss these guys here.
