Predawn arrivals seeking prime tailgating locations when the Notre Dame Stadium lots opened at 8 a.m. There sure aren’t a lot of firsts at Notre Dame. When Notre Dame played through the COVID season of 2020, it did so only after ensuring students could attend games. “You don’t want to assume anything,” said Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua, who replaced Swarbrick in the spring. Porter wasn’t sure if the group comprised Indiana fans or Notre Dame fans or both.

I was then promoted to activities manager, and in 2020, I became Royal Caribbean's second-youngest cruise director on Spectrum of the Seas. People may think of a cruise ship as a mode of transportation to a different country, but really, it's another destination. We regularly throw big parties onboard, but one of the most memorable parties was when the Spectrum of the Seas was christened in 2019 by the actress Angelababy in Shanghai. My favorite port is BarcelonaThe cruise port is at the bottom of Las Ramblas, a large boulevard that runs through the city. Do you work on a cruise ship and want to share your story?

A day earlier, Biden jokingly questioned why his predecessors left Ireland for a better life as he visited a local market and deli in Dundalk. In his talks with Irish leaders Thursday, Biden is expected to discuss a number of global issues, including the war in Ukraine. Later, Biden will address the Irish Parliament in a speech expected to touch on the close ties between the US and Ireland, both political and personal. Three years later, Ireland voted decisively to end what, at the time, was one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the world. The Irish identity Biden is exploring this week with visits to two ancestral hometowns is intrinsically linked to his own Catholicism.
