I think I am starting to speak with an Irish brogue.

This is not one of those stories where the guy gets hit on the head and all of a sudden can speak some long lost language or do complex math. It is not a head issue but one with the eyes.

My Sister suggested I watch a series called BallyKissAngel (which I can get through Amazon Prime streaming. Filmed in Ireland, it uses lots of actors and actresses with Irish accents and sometimes they are a bit hard to understand.

In the middle of watching episodes of this show, I also caught the movie “The War of the Buttons”, a cute story of lads in Ireland fighting with their neighbors from another town. Well acted, but I was a bit distracted watching Colm Meany who played in a couple different series of Star Trek.

I don’t know where I go from here, perhaps the 3rd season of Gold Rush will be available, some Real World episodes or what not. I may be able to catch 1st run Downton Abbey as I think I get PBS now. I’ll have to check.

So in the past year or so, I seem to have traveled north from Downton Abbey, The Grand and Fawlty Towers to Ireland.

Of the sights I have seen! Now if I could just convince them to stop going to the pub for a pint and drink some Kona Coffee!
