Ryan's Annual Wee Epistle
yan New Year 2024 is here! Be of good cheer be ya far or near and shout Beannachtam na Feile Padraig or “Happy St. Patrick’s” to those with a beer! (or whiskey, even a cocktail) Happy Ryan New Year! As Ryan Year 23’s lingering moments flicker and fade rejoice for this year’s Annual Wee Epistle 2024 (AWE24) has found you wanting to know everything about the Amer-Irish exploits leaping lo these 366 days from the annals of the wee Ryans (NGY) of County Cambria in the magical Laurel Highlands of a lush-filled land called Penn’s Woods. All Long Time AWE-Inspired
Readers (ALTAIRs), many of you among them TBTG, will well imagine the by now familiar comings and goings, goings and comings of the main characters of our ongoing epic with no doubt a smile on your lips and a joy in your heart. Have no fear fair ALTAIR for this year’s delights far exceed those past, presenting as they do an evolutionary expansion into heretofore untold realms Homericly retelling, recounting, and recalling rambunctious ramblings, raucous respites, and rarified revelry. Afore we go, it must be said, and truly so, how festive our foregoing feast found us inundated as we were with Christmas cards and letters from you faithful friends for which it is hoped today’s fulsome expression of fondness, fraternity, and fidelity
finds favor, for as you by now know our habitual lack of Christmas correspondence was a conundrum created by creation of creatures cuddly and cute called kids. By and by St. Paddy’s Day remains our first post-Nativity possibility to present patrimonious pleasantries pleasingly presented in this AWE24 TBTG.
A beginning is a great place to start so “Céad Míle Fáilte” - "A hundred thousand welcomes"
All caveats now observed.
Dear AWEsome reader, Executive Summary: God has a plan. Life is good. It’s all about the food. The world is there to be seen. Money is made to be spent. Never eat at a restaurant with a “Cook Wanted” sign in the window.
