The Gingerbread House has four walls, a roof, a door, a window, and a chimney. It is decorated with many sweet culinary delights on the outside. But on the inside there is nothing—only the bare gingerbread walls. It is not a real house—not until you decide to add a Gingerbread Room. That’s when the stories can move in. They will stay in residence for as long as you abstain from taking the first gingerbread bite. ↗

That's what the holidays are for - for one person to tell the stories and another to dispute them. Isn't that the Irish way? ↗

I love writing about my job because I loved it, and it was a particularly interesting one when I was a young man. It was like holidays with pay to me. ↗
