      ...Lambs . .I 
      decide against the direct route, to Cork  50 miles in traffic. Instead, 
      I'll touch the scenic Ring of Kerry on back roads, a more rigorous trip 
      of 80 hilly miles. Coasting downhill, I whoop at the top of my lungs. I'm 
      strong enough now to enjoy this ride and the workout. Sister Carmen, whom 
      I met in a San Francisco workshop, has invited me to visit her convent for 
      three days. I feel like a bull about to enter a china shop.
