Wow. Long, tiring day. Mom & Dad, who’ve rented a car for the week, came down from Dublin to pick us up and drive us down to Cork, where Ted had a job interview. Shaun came with, so we all piled into a small car with not-very-comfortable seats, and the 3 of in the back seat had an ongoing comedy of errors regarding the seatbelts. :) It took about four hours of driving, but we eventually did make it to Cork, where Ted went in and talked with the general…
