Two countries for an old man
What should I find in the mail when I get home today, but a letter from the Irish consulate. I was there back in May to submit an application, and now the news has finally arrived.
As of today, I am a citizen of Ireland :-)
Officially, the letter was signed on the first, but it's fitting that it arrived today, as today is the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, 8 August 2008, or as many of the Chinese like to refer to it, 8/8/8.
A lucky day indeed :-)
So now I'm watching the opening ceremony and waiting for both of my home countries to present their athletes. Go teams!
