Last Sunday evening, 100 students of Ave Maria University in Florida finally arrived at Mount Melleray in west Waterford to begin their first semester at the newly repurposed study-abroad campus of the Catholic university.

I was speaking to The Big Man the other day. ‘We’ll be talking about this Summer for a long time’, he said. ‘We will’, I replied, ‘surely, we will’. ‘And there are plenty of the usual type whinging and whining’, he said, ‘but once the rain returns, they’ll be sorry then – and I’ll tell you that for nothing!’ Thank God, I thought, because it wasn’t the kind of insightful information for which I’d happily pay.
