SPOD: 011113 Glass Sky

Glorious sunrise this morning followed by more gloriousness while I was driving in (blinding golds and yellows reflecting off the clouds) and as I’m turning away from my car to walk into work I see this.  “Ooooh, that’s interesting.” and pull out my camera.  Next time I’ll get out the tripod too.  It’s difficult to get bracketed shots by hand.

Interesting things – Trinity Hall ceili 4/17/11

We had slightly more than enough people for a set and a few ceili dances and great music by John Burleson, Michelle Feldman and ??? (we didn’t get his name!)

We did the North Kerry set, Haymakers Jig, Siege of Carrick, Rakes of Mallow, 4-hand and 6-hand. Great music, great fun!

Interesting things – Denton, home of happiness

Today Susan and I went up to UNT to do a short Irish dance class.

Afterwards we went wandering around downtown Denton and stopped in to the Abbey Inn restaurant (and pub) for lunch and a few beers.

Susan had soup and salad and I had a wonderful seafood stew stew and grilled-cheese sandwich.

Yum. Highly recommended. Click the picture for more pics of good food.

Interesting things – SCMA ceili 9/4/10

The first SCMA ceili for the 2010/2011 season!

It was practically an all-regular evening with two sets joining in during the workshop portion and staying around for two hours of dancing!

Thanks to everyone for coming out, to Michelle and Paul for the music and Lybo for representing the SCMA.

Interesting things – TV Disassembly 7/24/10

Saturday I spent some time disassembling a very old TV so my in-laws could use the cabinet for general purpose storage.

Of course, I had to get some pictures first

It was soon followed by much disassembly, resulting in TV guts in a box

and an empty cabinet.
