Summertime and the living is green. With all the rain and cold we've been having this past spring, one would think it's the Dingle Peninsula in monsoon season. Yet now that summer has finally officially arrived, according to the office druid, the weather should be more mild. Let's hope so, especially with all the Irish festivals coming up over the next few months.

The O'Briens are banking on such climatic pleasantries, especially as they plan for their big clan reunion later this season. Be sure to get your accommodations now for the biggest blowout expected in Ireland over the past 1,000 years...or at least since when the Great Boru, Brian, that is, whipped the Nordic invaders and declared himself Head Cheese of all the Auld Sod.

Speaking of blowouts, U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, Richard J. Egan, is tossing a heck of birthday party at his Phoenix Park digs on July 4. Designer Carleton Varney, who recently redid some of the ambassador's private rooms, has put together a swell holiday affair for 3,000 of Regan's best friends. Only things missed are the leggy Radio City Rockettes, and darned if they weren't asked. So if anyone is lucky to get an invite, check out Neil Diamond, Nathan's Hot Dogs and the Boston chowder.

On the more serious side, rumors about IRA involvement with Colombian rebels has taken a reality turn, as more and more document ion is turning up demonstrating the terrorist connections. And this is only the tip of the iceberg in this edition of The Irish American Post. Tune in!
