| After living in Boston for 2 years and Ireland for 1 year, I am back in the beautiful Twin Cities that I call home. I am currently living in Uptown, working as the Vice President for a small company and becoming reaquainted with my family, friends and the bars! I am slowly getting back into writing my book as well as writing more poems and tossing around a screenplay idea. I have not been playing my bodhran as much as I should but certainly enjoy every moment I do. I am still working with a friend and business partner of the Irish Ethics Commission in Kilkenny, Ireland to raise funds for our conference center. This forum will act as a "Think-tank" for Business, Government and Academic Leaders to strategize ethical business practices for Ireland's booming economy. Although it will take a bit longer than we expected, I have no fear our dream will come true. |

Kings and Queens and great Irish feasts Horses and hounds and other noble beasts Knights and soldiers and maidens in the tower Bards and banshees and sorcerers with power Stories and legends and hair raising tales Noises and nightmares that turn you so pale Guitars and whistles and the might bodhran Grace, Mattie Groves and the soulful Ride On Terretts and battlements and a spiral staircase Foulksrath Castle- What a magical place! -Mary Sue McMahon August 2, 2000 Maggies Bar, Kilkenny, Ireland |
People only see me In a way they can relate They think I might be different So the seed is planted to hate Just because I believe in Life And the rebirth of the Soul Does not mean I'll be damned forever In Hell's firey hole Open your heart Hell, open your eyes You may find a little thought Can make you quite wise I'm here to laugh And I'm here to love A world of beautiful souls Is all that I dream of I can act weak here Or I can act strong But a place where I don't have to act Is where I belong -Mary Sue McMahon January 9, 2001 The Dubliner, St. Paul, Minnesota |
