It didn’t help.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.

OK, I got curious. If one is âhaplessâ, then what is âhapâ? Immediate guess was âhapâ as in âhappyâ, or âwith hapâ. This would make âhapâ the gladsome quality a happy person possesses. That didnât quite fit the definition of hapless as I knew it though, so I poked about on the web and discovered…
“It’s not an age – it’s a speed limit.” – My friend, Dr.Something-Less-Than-Twenty-Cats, after she reached a similar milestone not all that long ago. Had a doctor appointment in the Big Shitty this morning for a post-op check. I passed with flying colors, but they’ve flagged me from driving for another two freaking weeks. We’ll…
I think what makes us [cat people] feel superior is not that we have a cat in our homes, but that a cat has found us acceptable to live with. There’s a thrill in that that a dog owner will never know. -Haskel Frankel, Foreword to Dr. L. J. Camuti’s book “All My Patients Are…
Is there anything in life quite as awkward as a holiday spent with someone else’s relatives? If so, don’t put my name on the list of participants. I’ve had my share of awkward for this season. The original plan was that the Professor’s grandmother would be making dinner Christmas Eve, which Daughters #1 and #2…
I hope the seats in the movie theater are *real* comfortable! That’s a long time to be watching a movie. Hopefully my bladder is up to the challenge. I think perhaps I won’t be buying the large Pepsi to go with my popcorn after all. The reviews for “Return of the King” have all been…
Well, the deed is done. Summer is truly over. I removed the dead and dying morning glory vines from the fencing today. It made me a little sad, and a lot philosophical. A few of the vines had somehow missed being killed by the idiot construction workers and by the hard frosts we had this…
celtic fest was the middle of september and i missed it! i had the pleasure of just walking to grant park when i lived downtown and catching a few minutes of the various festivals. i don’t own any, but i do appreciate celtic music very much 8)
I don’t understand celtic music. Around here they play it in those stores that sell smelly soap and candles.
Speaking of smelly soap, I’ve a bar that is stuck to the edge of the bath. I can’t take it off for the life of me. I’ve tried prying it off with a butterknife and a screwdriver, but it won’t work! So now when I want to wash my hands in the sink I have to moisten them under the tap, turn around, take a half step, bend down to the side of the bath, rub my fingers on the soap, stand up, turn around, take the half step back and then run them under the sink again. It takes like half an hour!
I love Celtic music, too. G loves to dance to more electronic stuff–rave music, that sort of thing. I pulled out some of my traditional Gaellic tunes for him the other day to show him what adrenaline is really all about. De Danaan dropped him to the floor. 🙂
a few years back i went to Guinness Fleagh (flah)in nyc, lots of wonderful music, the Chieftains performed as well as many other Irish bands, Sinead was there, Patti Smith, Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls…can’t remember who else at the moment. also got a great piece of art from the many craftsmen who set up shops in the field. needless to say, i had my share of guinness!
Those wacky Celts.
Lots of Irish where I’m from. I like when they make their kids dress up and do their funny dances. It’s like the midgets in Wizard of Oz performing Riverdance.
The Chieftains rule!
=)
LOL
I love celtic music…and even took up playing the penny whistle. I wouldn’t say I’m good, but I love to play it. I drive my family nuts playing the same song over and over again…hahahah

I thought you were pulling our legs about Dick, but I’m a believer now.
I love Celtic music also. Something weird happened to my favorite CD, Celtic Christmas III by Windham Hill, so it won’t play anymore. Vinyl fatigue maybe.
Beautiful lyrics.
