In loving memory of my brother, Patrick Halloran.
Circle Broken
The time has come,
Bear by Himself,
To talk of many things,
Of Sailing Ships, and harbor towns,
Where a man called Doyle is king,
And the origins of toilet bowls,
And how pigs, for sure, have wings Read the rest of this entry →

I sat there in the hard wooden chair mostly staring at my knees, occasionally adjusting my navy blue, cable knit knee socks. I had no idea why I was there, nor did my parents who were seated to either side of me in flimsy folding chairs. I have since come to realize that the seating arrangement was intentional, designed to cause discomfort.

1. I am the second of six children in an Irish (recovering) Catholic family. We had a cozy, idyllic, “Get Piggy!” upbringing.
2. I was born in Jersey City, but grew up in Pennsyltucky. The Lehigh Valley: industrial depression, Billy Joel songs and the like. It’s a lovely place if you don’t really want anything out of life. Before I left, it got 11% more exciting with a a spate of new Wawas popping up and a Casino opening at the old Bethlehem Steel Site.
