And, in any case, since when has getting BINGO ever been a bad thing?
I guess what I’m trying to get at by giving you this example is, ever since I first stepped foot into the Milk Market, I was hooked. There is no place that you will find food of better quality, taste, and price in the city, or people with friendlier dispositions. The Milk Market truly is “Limerick’s Best Kept Secret”: a secret I couldn’t help but share with all of you.
But Ciaran Carson didn’t stop surprising me there either…Carson decided to join a group of us, his audience, at the home of my poetry instructor, Professor Margaret Mills Harper, for food, music, and dancing after the reading. That’s right everyone, I got to listen to, sing songs for, and dance with Ciaran Carson. Close to the end of the gathering, Professor Harper told me that there are some moments, whether they be minutes, hours, or days, that you remember for the rest of your life as being truly unforgettable…For me, my night with “Ciaran Carson” was undoubtedly one such moment.
Yeah, it’s not a dessert either.
