Sunset over the wingSo I'm on my way to Mesa, AZ and the flight starts out delayed an hour but at least I'm rewarded by a pretty sunset that lasts a looong time because we're headed West. Monday, June 30. 2008Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Defined tags for this entry: schnauzer
Chip is drunk?No not really, but he looks it. He's just squished between Susan and the chair. Happy though. Monday, June 30. 2008Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Defined tags for this entry: schnauzer

Antiques roadshowWe applied for tickets to the Dallas Antiques Roadshow several months ago and with our tickets in hand we went out Saturday morning with a typewriter, steam engine and ruler-like thing that we had no idea about. We dropped by my dads house and borrowed some earrings from my sister which were easily from the early 1900s. We arrived at the convention hall about 1:30 and entered the endless line at 1:45.

Not too many of the CRG made it out but we did have me and Susan, Pam, Brandy and Billye so at least we had a half sets worth for a few set dances. A bunch of people associated with the Shandon school made it out as well which helped to fill the far end of the pub with people twirling and leaping about. We started off with a few set figures and then moved on the Walls of Limerick. A few more set figures and Susan and I got up to teach the kids and a few adults the Waves of Tory. It was a bit of a disaster but fun just the same. We also managed to drag a few of the Shandon adults through part of the Galway Half Set. There was a bit of stepping about as well
while Bob and David played through the afternoon.

The return (or end?) of BatteryGitSo some of you are aware of the joy that BatteryGeek has brought to my (& Susans) life. Recently I was contacted by someone claiming to be his soon to be ex wife and saying that Sean Murray had run off with the company leaving her with no money and millions in debt as he apparently used her credit to prop up the company.
Before responding to her I did a few net searches and found that even his neighbors dislike Mr. BatteryGit. Continue reading "The return (or end?) of BatteryGit"Sunday, June 15. 2008Chip + cheese = loveSunday, June 15. 2008Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) Last modified on 2008-06-15 01:16
