why are these irish films

sometimes people think I'm crazy

Everybody knows The Quiet Man and The Commitments. And if you use 5% of your brain you know why Rudy (Notre Dame - The Fighting Irish) and Going My Way (Irish priests).

Return to Me in a story of a girl who works in her grandpa's Irish/Italian Restaurant. One of the great scenes is one of the old guys saying "Greatest Irish Singer" reply "That's Easy - Der Bingle"

Caddyshack is written by Brian Murray and stars Bill Murray, two of America's greatest Irish Catholics -- their sister is even a nun!

Chocolat -- the sexy Johnny Depp plays an Irish Tinker (Ireland's gypsies)

Two Sean Connery movies -- Darby O'Gill and the Little People was Sean's first movie and who could forget Jimmy Malone -- "What are you prepared to do?"

Did You Hear About What Happened to Me?

Last February, I joined the Hike for Discovery to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. On my first hike with the group, I fell 30 feet & cartwheeled down the side of the mountain. After rescue by helicopter and 3 weeks in the hospital, I spent 10 weeks in a wheelchair.

But, I'm all better now (nearly) and wouldn't have made it without the fabulous Patty who was one of the hikers and just happened to be a nurse who previously was an E.M.T. and the rest of the wonderful people from the group.
