I turn on TV this morning to see Matt Lauer broadcasting from the town where I was born. Then I see my brother playing music in the background. Then they do a cooking segment from the gayest pub in the neighborhood...

Nice. I wanna go to Ireland some day.

[f8n_begorra]

Dang I missed the earlier part

That is amazing. I am determined some day to see where you are from.

[f8n_begorra]

You will, hopefully sooner rather than later.

That´s great. Did you get "homesick"?

[f8n_begorra]

The big question: where IS home? I don't know anymore. The typical immigrant's dilemma. No matter where I am, sadly, I miss the other place.

[6ft5]

I understand that. And there seems to be no way around that fact. Alan, a good friend in New York is british but claims it´s preposterous to call himself british after 20 something years in the States, but still. He sometimes seems a bit aloof as to what exactly is home too.
