irish portrait from acen 2007
these guys flew in all the way from ireland to attend acen. now that's dedication! i caught them outside the embassy suites where we had stayed as we were leaving monday. they were hanging out until thursday to also check out chicago. i suppose if i was coming a few thousand miles, i'd take a week off work myself.
by now, i've stayed in my fair share of mid-priced hotels, and i have to say the embassy suites in rosemont, illinois ranks among the best of them so far. not only did they have a far superior breakfast spread than most other hotels i've stayed in, they also had a two hour open bar every day. happy hour indeed, what service! i know these guys enjoyed it.
* * * * *
things have been tumultuous in my life lately, and these two songs recently popped up in my itunes. perhaps to help me along my way. times can be tough during periods of transition and uncertainty and i love the message of the songs, so i offer them to you in case you too need a little inspiration. i don't have the original song titles, so i'll call them "i believe" and "somebody". these were done by a close personal friend, one gifted spirit.
