Me & My Family.

 This is my dad & myself flanking the 'legendary' Conor Cruise-O'Brien at my graduation from Trinity College. The Cruiser was acting-Chancellor the day and presented me and my class-mates with our 'bits of paper'. The entire ceremony was in Latin and the degree even had the Latin words for Computer Science. Go figure.

Anyway dad wanted to get this photograph, not out of any affiliation to the Cruiser's politics but more so because he knew he could get up a few of his friends' noses when they saw it. Now you know where I get my knack for winding people up from. 

That's my parents with my only surviving uncle, my Dad's brother, Tom. This was taken in Clare during the summer of 2000.  

This is my mother and my brother. That's his car. He 'decorated' it the day of the All-Ireland Final in 1996. We should have taken that car to Dublin with us. Instead we took mine and somebody crashed into me and wrote it off. Luckily no one was hurt and we won the match. 

Here's my dad again with some of his GAA cronies. This was taken at the homecoming for the Wexford team in Gorey after the 1996 All-Ireland. 

And here are the family pets, Bruce and JR. The dalmation-like sitting up is JR. He was my dog. He went missing a few years ago while he was down in Gorey with my parents. The other 'mutt' is Bruce, my dad's dog. I got him years ago from a guy in college with me. He's getting on now but he's as lovable as ever.   
I've a lot of other photographs of the family but I've yet to scan them all in. I'll try and get a few more up here soon. All the photos here can be seen in a larger format if you click on them.
