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

In A Snit.
I was a good girl Saturday. I hung around an extra hour, making sure that everything was OK at work before I went home and went to bed. No one called me, so I went home feeling like everything had been resolved. Everything was not resolved. A second, related problem reared its ugly head. I’m…
Living in Interesting Times.
I get sidetracked more easily than a Conrail freight train making local deliveries. I originally wanted to title this entry “Living in Interesting Times”. I think that may be too long for the display, though, so I haven’t made up my mind if I’m going to truncate it to “Interesting Times” or not. Maybe I’ll…
The End of Summer
You can spin the light to gold. Summer goes out with neither a bang nor a whimper. The week is sizing up to be rain free. The days are starting out in the mid-fifties, and climbing to eighty or so. The trees are showing various amounts of color. The walnuts are always the last to…
The Waiting is Over.
The tests came back negative. The bullet has been dodged. I’m hoping that this episode has taught a few people that the gun really is loaded. I’m really hoping this little situation will convince a few people around here to stop buying the bullets. The gun’s always going to be pointed to our heads. It’s…
I exist.
There is a moment when the caffeine hits. One perfect, glorious moment. I havenât had coffee in several days, less by choice than circumstance. This morning I sit in a local DD, sipping a large mocha macchiato and just being. The magical moment is no substitute for true mindful meditation, something I have taken up…
The things I didn’t do.
Oh, I had plans for last night. Water the seeds, check the gardens for weeds, pay the bills, pull together a real meal for myself, comb the cats (one of whom left two rather spectacular hairballs for me to clean up in the middle of the carpet yesterday). But no, these didn’t happen. I got…
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.
