My cousin is coming to visit tonight.

She's the youngest from my dad's sister's family. There are a lot of us, being Irish Catholic. This can only mean heavy drinking, non-productive time.
Ach, what can you do? Welcome her with open arms, and deal with the consequences tomorrow.
Failte.

1. Failte back at'cha!

Remember when you start to feel maudlin, be sure to start singin' Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

But, yeah, enough Guinness and Jameson, there's gonna be a fight. Gotta love family.

5. Did she bring bread and salt?

Did she knock the top of the entrance as she walked in, and say something like (it's been a long time) "Blessings on all here"?

6. Not yet.

She went to a nearby pub. I went to find her, but didn't see her. The place is a huge meat market. I wandered with a Guinness, and couldn't find her. I missed her call because I had my music playing too loud.
