Wisdom from a napkin
A napkin, of all things...
However, thus it was so when I ventured out to an old local haunt that I hadn't been to in years. Not only was I warmly remembered by the publican and ran into another old pal, but when the place-setting was put out the napkin contained the following:
"To share in the Irish existence is to wear the mantle of an unruffled philosopher in a troubled world. It is to tweak the nose of the mighty, to exalt the humble, and to find a style of life that to others is only a dream."
Quite eloquent if you ask me -- and I think quite apropos here, no matter if you have Irish blood in your veins or not.
