That’s Beans – in a moment I’ll tell you why he is looking at me with that expression on his face. This is the Drop Kick Murphys and one of my favourite songs, “A Rose Tatoo”: And this of course, is the flag of Greece, of which Athens (or Athena as it’s called elsewhere) is

Hopefully, he doesn’t read my blog anymore…. 😀 But this is him: That’s my son David Hugh Scott, and he’ll be 17 in August. I actually have 4 sons, and they are all awesome – the older three range in age from 30 to 26 so David really is the baby. He’s been involved in
