To commemorate a never-to-be-fully-explained trip to Mick Cronin's
farm in the wilds of Sliabh Luachra. Ostensible purpose: to deliver
a bag of Latino vegetables and a carton of assorted fermented spirits
being sent by Mick's brother Johnny in Brooklyn. Additional details
are available (to adults only) upon request. "From a Kerryman in New York
to his brother," I told the agriculture inspector at the airport when I
arrived in Ireland. "Right so!" says he, and he waved me through without
even checking the packages. (Airport security wasn't as big an issue in
those innocent days. . .)
