Dublin columnist: - will take a break Correspondent JOAN CRONiiN 345-2972 Today I am writing a very difficult column. It is not about the.weather, even though dear. old Mother Nature did get in a real snit on Friday. (And boy did she ever blow her cool.) It is not about the local happenings or whereabouts of people but instead it is a closing or final column. Many of you will wonder why 1 ever started to write if !was only going to quit after two years of being a correspondent. Well the best way to answer that is with the phrase, 'the hurrier 1 go the behinder 1 get'.
