The Gaulstown Dolmen

I was off on an adventure!

Car was rented, backpack was packed, and the destination was set. I had a goal, had a playlist, and I was on my way.

One of the fun parts of Ireland is the history – the sheer amount of ancient ruins and prehistoric artifacts strewn throughout the country. One of the weird parts of Ireland, though, is that they’re basically all on private land. Thankfully, the owner of the Gaulstown Dolmen allows people to visit.

Which, typing it out, still feels weird to say…

But hey. Private ownership of everything! Capitalist dream! Yay!

… Extra special no comment.


I will say, aside from the weird access issues, it really was gorgeous. Such a neat little stop on the adventure!

An anniversary of a personal sort

My last post was a one-year anniversary of my D&D group… this post is similar, but of a slightly more personal aspect – Andrea and I celebrated one full year together!

I can’t believe it’s already been a full 12-months… a full year of joy, of learning, of exploring and working together. Challenges and successes, deep conversations and amazing meals. I can’t overstate just how amazing my partner is, and how thankful I am to have met her.

I can try to celebrate it, though – and celebrate that anniversary we did! A lovely dinner at a nearby French restaurant, followed by cocktails at a nearby speakeasy, hidden in Temple Bar. Not nearly enough to celebrate the amazing woman sitting across from me, and what we’ve built together… but it was a start.

And we’ve got a lifetime to continue celebrating.
