O'Donnell Irish EyesBack in about 1984, when my friend Pauline Kamen’s mother (herself with a head of hair dyed a hue not known in the natural world) referred to a member of her bridge club as “the gal with the ‘pitch-blonde’ hair.” I began to keep track of the amusing statements made by otherwise intelligent, well-educated individuals.

O'Donnell Irish EyesWhen the Valentine’s Day candy is slashed to half price, department-store window displays are denuded of red items and replaced with green, when I start reading about St. Paddy’s Day parties, and start seeing shamrocks in my dreams, my thoughts turn to my maternal grandfather, James Edward Rooney.

O'Donnell Irish EyesFor the last umpteen years, prescription medicines have been advertised on American television. Most often featured in such commercial ads are drugs with names that make little sense to the typical boob-tube aficionado. One exception to this generalization existed in an advertising campaign for the prescription sleep aid known as Lunesta®. In my opinion, the name itself had a pleasing, even soporific ring to it; don’t you agree?

O'Donnell Irish EyesI just hung up on a scam caller—rudely, I might add. Well, rudely, if you consider smartly and decisively clicking the “END” button on a cell phone to be rude. (Golly-gee-whiz! It was EVER so much easier to deliver an indignant response to unwanted attention back in the day when you could powerfully slam the receiver of a landline phone into its cradle!) But I digress. My recent call went down exactly like this:

O'Donnell Irish EyesI am having a baby in a few weeks. Well, not I, exactly; my daughter is expecting her third daughter, but it might as well be this now-seasoned grandmother who is experiencing the joys of pregnancy. You see, when I speak with my daughter over the phone, I seem to feel every kick she describes to me, every comment made by others to which she is subjected, every little worry that sneaks into her consciousness in the middle of a sleepless night, and all of the excitement so evident in her voice when she mentions the impending birth.
