So 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.

No not really, but he looks it.
He's just squished between Susan and the chair. Happy though.
Rebecca brought her little cutie, Allison, over during a CRG meeting and Chip was really interested.
Wow, a human smaller than me!
We 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.
It was another good session at Lochrann's. 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.

For Chip anyway.
While I was working on the computer, outside on the patio, chip was pining for Susan
and trying to hide in the grass.
A few more hours and we'll have to put him in his crate while we go play at Lochrann's. Wish we could take him along.
Chip's fur was getting matted in places that hadn't been groomed in a while so Susan took him to the groomers on Friday.
The poor guy came out naked.
He should be cooler though and the short fur makes him feel like velvet.
So 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.

I am Sean Murrays wife. Currently we are getting a divorce. He ran off with the company leaving me no income even though I am also on our Articles of Incorporation. I sympathize with your story, it is quite obvious that he is manipulative as I also have felt the defeat of being used for my good credit to help propel our company forward. Now I have to file for bankrupcy. MOre on the story, write to me.
Before responding to her I did a few net searches and found that even his neighbors dislike Mr. BatteryGit.
After the final 2007/2008 SCMA ceili a bunch of us went off to Lochrann's to listen and dance to Needfire.
The 2007/2008 season is now over and the final ceili was a bunch o fun.
We had slightly more than three sets worth and ran through the South Galway Half Set,
as well as a back to back hornpipe we learned from Pat Murphy, most of the Cashel Set, Three Tunes and closed with the Siege of Ennis.

On Friday night Susan and I called a small ceili for the Wingard family gathering.
We did a bunch of ceili dances and got the family leaping about for a Friday night.
Alright. I'm posting this almost a week late. Sue me, work sent me out of town.
It was a fun session. We did a bit of the Sliabh Luachra, Galway half set, misc other sets and a bit of stepping about.
We even worked with Deina a bit on a number she'll be doing soon. Shh. it's a secret.
The pictures from my recent trip to Burgess Hill and Brighton are up on the gallery.
My favorite one? Probably this one...

Spending a lazy Saturday afternoon on the patio with Susan and Chip, drinking beer, listening to music and enjoying a cool breeze in the shade.
