Why you, why here, why now?

And I'm sort of waking up a little bit of that butterfly feeling in my stomach.

You know that first bit where your eyes blink to open and you stare at the ceiling?

It's just thoughts about the summer that lays ahead, the days that we've had, the days that lay in store, Dara.

You know, the three extra times in a row, the five championships win in a row that has never been had before.

What is this feeling called love?

It's butterflies in the stomach, tickets in the pocket for Salt Hill on... Sold out.

On Sunday afternoon.

Sold out.

And I see Frank Roach in the Independent today saying that the expectation is there'll be more Westmeath fans than Galway fans.

I take a giant gulp when I say that, because, you know.

But, you know, halftime in the Cavern game, a couple of weeks ago, I did think, we've had a good run.

This has been fun.

I still love you, but... I heard those Westby fans leave you.

there was Westmead fans leaving full time I heard there was well they might have been going to get shelter because it started to bucket the bad stuff it's been raining is that what you're saying like the worst Matthew Brennan of this parish had said before he'd never seen rain like it before

Anyway, there is clearly a bit of my excitement about this whole thing.

This is an unusual feeling for me.

I've never really had this before because normally, you know, it's your royalties, your Donegal's and your Kerry's and your Dublin's and your Galway's and your Mayo's and all the usual suspects.

The likes of us, Tara, do not get to dine at this table.

But this year is just different.
