While sitting here watching the radiance of the moon filter through the window blinds, I came up with a grand idea for a meme. It is one minute out of your lives. Mind you, I don’t want to know what you do in the bathroom! 
I did this meme a little over a year ago, because a book inspired me. The book is, “The Three Bears“, by Derec Jones. Tis a fantastic book that I should have done a review on over a year ago. Anyhow, here is the passage that started the meme:
“Bring to your consciousness those memories
of the things you’ve seen and the places you’ve been over the last twenty-four
hours. Good. Now select a one-minute sequence of events
and try to replay it over and over again in your mind.”
Here’s one minute in the life of Jefferson Davis:
Yet again I am sitting in a local coffee shop with Uncle Elathan (the man loves coffee). We are discussing my trip to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. This is the gist of the conversation:
While running his finger around the rim of the coffee mug, Uncle Elathan asked, “So, why are you so adamant about going back to Ireland?”
“I left part of myself o’er there last time”, I mumbled, as I scried into the swirling cloud of coffee.
“BooHoo..I’ve heard this sob story before…grow up.”
“Nah..I’ll stay youthful, thank you very much”, I responded whilst laughing.
“You are determined to stay over there, aren’t you?” He enquired, as he stirred more creamer into his cop of steaming java.
“Possibly.”
“Why?”
“I’m going to take my portfolio with me, and keep my options open”, I muttered as the waitress ran over with a blistering pot of joe.
His eyes leapt from the waitresses backside to me, and he pleaded, “Why would you want to go to a foreign land, where you’d be treated as a foreigner?”
I pushed back from the table and answered, “I’m a foreigner in my own country so what’s the effing difference”.
“Boy, you ain’t right”, he yelled whilst reclining and guffawing.
Who shall I torture with this one?
How about…..:
Anyone else is more than welcome to join in the fun.

If you were not so talented I might just go off you!
One of these days you might see this meme over at my place.
I think I sort of did the meme yesterday without knowing it. The last 24 hours hasn’t been great so I’ll skip doing it again for fear of losing my select group of readers. I’m glad you’re taking your portfolio over there actually but jobs are few and far between. Good luck.

JD,
Why would Americans think they would be foreigners in Ireland? Sure they’d be Americans, but that’s no more foreign than being Australian, Canadian, Kiwi or South African, and we have lots of them (and I’m English anyway).
Bring your uncle, the world doesn’t hate Americans, we just don’t like armies from elsewhere (from anywhere, not just the US)
