Joining family members in Philadelphia this weekend for the parade (mostly spent in Tir na nOg), unfortunately working on the 17th.

err, is Tir na nOg the name of a US town??

No, just a shit chain pub the size of a warehouse to pack as many paying customers as possible into the stout-sticky place...

Is it about a bicycle?

Tir na nOg?  Its "Country of Youth"... place from Irish mythology where no one ever gets old... would be pretty good if you guys had named a town after it!

That would be pretty good, we do have a "boy's town" in Nebraska, they help underprivleged boys and girls, but not mythological.  The bicycle refers to "The Third Policeman" (or "The Dalkey Archive), I saw a de Selby quote on your profile...

Yeah, its from the start of the third policeman... pretty much the best book ive read in ages....

havn't got round to the Dalkey Archive yet, lookin forward to it, more de Selby brilliance!

I used to live on 120th and Dodge right near Boy's Town...I always thought it sounded dirty when I first moved to Omaha years ago.
