More Sherlock Holmes vs House

Take a look at the following website about House

The Celtic Tiger, What Would Professor Moriarty Think?

    Not sure the good professor would have approved completely.  The loss of power of the church.  He probably would have been amazed though, at how well Ireland is doing.

Ireland has never had people wanting to immigrate to it, only emigrate from.  Economically, it is better off the the U.K.

I remember growing up with my father saying, Ireland with all its difficulties was mad for leaving the U.K.  I guess this is a guess of who’s laughing now?

Might make for an interesting time travel for the Professor.

Freud on Irishmen “This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever” (Sigmund Freud – about the Irish)

“This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever” (Sigmund Freud – about the Irish)

Take a look at the following blog post.

I may play with my chapter on Moriarty visiting Freud even more.   Moriarty already is not fond of Freud.

I showed the quote to my Boston Irish wife.  She laughed and just said “that is because we are special.”

You know something?  She is right!

Jimmy’s Diner 11/7/07

    I first put this up on Michael Palin’s website.

Linda, the time may be right to put together the stories.  Jena may have to close the place.  She barely breaks even.  The place is mainly a tax write off and so she can have extra food for the family.

Today I learned more of the story.  “Jimmy” the founder, was her long time boyfriends father.  He died in ‘03, and Jena ended up with the place.  Problem is, Jimmy was a larger than life man, and owed debts all over town.  No major supplier will work with Jena, therefore she cannot get breaks on food and other supplies.  She works 6 1/2 days a week, no staff other than her father and Elizabeth helping out.  This is partly why Jena “tells” you what you are eating.

I am writing a childhood friend who runs a lighting business and wants to invest in stuff in Arizona.

Well today, Jena’s daughter Elizabeth who is eight (obviously not the same Elizabeth as the one who assists with the cleaning) had homework and was trying to get the rest of us to do it for her.  She tells Jena what to do as well.

“Wait a minute, how come she can do that?”  I cried.  “She is cuter,” was Jena’s rapid response, then Jena proceeded to make a face at me.  I told the city workers we were going to have to go there in drag and a therapist would have a field day with Jimmy’s.
Jena and her father (also named Mike) told me about the two therapists (who were also lesbians) who stopped in at Jena’s.  They looked around and reacted like the line in the Billy Currington song, this must be where rednecks come from.
I will miss it if Jena closes.  The Wednesday entertainment is always there.

Jimmys Diner 11/1/01

It was another show.  I walked in just in time for Elizabeth to drop a can of Pepsi and have it explode.  Mess all over.
Jena left early to go to the doctor, she was not feeling well.
The Parks Dept workers were there but we tried to behave because two older women came in who had never been before.
Jena’s father told me about when Paul McCartney lived in Tucson.  He used to repair the gates the company I work for builds.  He worked on his gate and still have the old remote from it.  He told me he used to play with the remote driving by to be a wiseguy.
I had meat loaf for lunch, because that is what they had the deal on, so it was made crystal clear that was what I was getting.  Same deal, just did as I was told.
