Praise God for this Miracle.

When he is hurling, I know a little bit about the sports over there:

It must be Cricket or the Gaelic Games, as that acronym I read in there could be, I think it said GAA or something. Great story! Peeng

GAA is the Gaelic Athletic Association. Hurling is like field hockey on steroids. Very rough-and-tumble. Look it up on Wikipedia.

Are you sure? Is a hurler not the same as a barfer?

I was a championship hurler during my college years.

Cricket. I remember watching my father playing cricket with the English community in Istanbul in the 50s. There were more English than Americans and they all went out to a cricket club every month and played cricket two months then softball the third month. Dad got to be the relief hurler. It has the names of the whole crew on it. We kids ran around in the pine trees eating pine nuts at the appropriate time of year and digging spent bullets out of the embankment any time. The place had been an old army shooting range. I have the bat he was presented with when he got orders for home.
