Come to America. Don't think. Just do it.

You know what? Maybe I should.

I'm not saying we're the best country in the world, however, I will say that our cheeseburgers are worth the price of admission alone.

Now I'm hungry and curious.

Actually Ireland is part of the visa waiver programme, so we don't need a visa to visit. (For 90 days. I have a general desire to walk across the States in a few years time, and 90 days is waaaay too little time.)

I work with a dude who's son is going to do it this summer to raise awareness about access to water. I'm hoping he can crash on my couch one night. I'll post about this again, but if anyone wants to put him up for the night, I'm sure he'd be grateful, as would I.

Whoa, that's amazing! I mean, the marathons carrying water is a huge achievement to begin with, and then this? Hats off to that guy!
