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

You know that plan to stick it out for at work for two years I mentioned in my last entry? I’m re-evaluating. I got the schedule for the next four weeks that afternoon. After next week, I’ve been cut back to two eight-hour shifts per week. No notice, no explanation, no nothing. When I approached…
A binary event: This will be my 1111th entry here. Why that should be significant is beyond me, but it amuses, and so I will note the occasion. Last night I was awakened from a sound sleep by one of the worst calf cramps I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve been experiencing some minor…

I just got word that one of The Socialist’s presents shipped via air from Moscow today. I never bought anything from Moscow before.
Years ago I read “Tuesdays with Morrie”, Mitch Albom’s small book recording his final conversations with his old teacher and mentor, Morrie Schwartz, who was dying slowly from ALS. I later purchased “Morrie: In His Own Words” from a bargain book table, which contained Morrie’s own observations about the process of dying and how he…
Warrior Princess is healing well from the surgery, but late last night The Prof noticed signs of erosion on her left eye. I scheduled a follow-up visit for this afternoon. Out with some of the old meds, in with a new one, and another visit scheduled Monday. I will not let this poor cat lose…
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.
