Oh, I love her. She's from New Orleans, and she used to play at the late and lamented O'Flahery's pub in the Quarter. Before she did solo stuff, she was in a band called The Poor Clares, which did more traditional Celtic stuff.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

So it appears sarameg's Family Circus is visiting Iceland this July! Mom's really been bit by the travel bug.
Happy birthdays, maria & pix!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Help me, travel gurus: I'm planning a trip for this summer, and I can get a good price going, but not coming back. Is it insane to buy a one-way ticket and hope I can do better coming back, or is it just already too late to get a cheap ticket on a Sunday in the summer?

The status is NOT quo.
Except birthdays for you and Pix!! I hope you are both having delightful days. Have you had a chance to celebrate together? Because if not that totally needs to happen some year.
We have not! One of these years, Maria and I will have to manage to be together to celebrate, but we haven't managed it yet.
House-ma, Strix and Laura!

Have you checked out what Kayak and/or Google flights have for fare predictions on the flight?

Yikes. That reminds me I took to book a flight for Boston. Business trip coming up.

Husband has a job interview in Charlotte a week from Friday, which happens to be the same time I'm away at Escapade. Naturally, this ruins my plans to spend all of the time he was gone catching up on all of my TV.

They say track. I'm sure I can't do better on the outbound, though.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Is today Maria and Pix birthday day? I hope both are happy, even if you're celebrating apart.
I learned an interesting thing--there are two different types of flu--the respiratory kind is the one that seems to be felling people left and right, the one the shot works for, mostly.
The other kind is gastric, and there's no shot for that. Guesss which one I've been dancing with for 2-3 weeks? After years of being told, "Flu is respiratory. If your digestion is messed up, it's probably food poisoning." Having revised food handling, hand washing and counter and container cleanliness, I doubt this is food poisoning. Three days of H's magic chicken rice soup, two days of normal-ish diet, a day of BRAT, chicken soup, rinse, repeat. Where're my damn food pills?
