sandpaper

Great photo of Adam English from Ookla the Mok, taken at OVFF.

I've added some more pics to the Flickr Filking Photo page.

Still sick. Throat feels like I've eaten a bowl of sandpaper. Jeff's sick now, too. From the timing, looks like it was something I brought home with me from OVFF.

Yesterday I felt a bit better and went out and saw The Incredibles yesterday with Parki after brunch at Milestones. Wow. Really, really loved this movie. I came out wanting to see it again right away. Won't say more about it until more of you have had a chance to see it except that I adored all the characters, but especially Edna.

Looks like I'm going to be AN AUNT AGAIN; Jeff's sister Larkin is pregnant! Our trip to Italy has been postponed a year so that we can all be around for the happy event in May.

re: Irish session stuff. Just found out that at least one of the people on the message boards I'm reading knows over two thousand tunes from memory. Most of the experienced session-types seem to know several hundred. Holy toledo, I have a long way to go. I also received e-mail from someone in the Toronto area who saw my posting, letting me know about the Toronto sessions, said I'd be welcome to sit in. Woohoo! And Mary Bertke said that if she's able to make GAfilk, she could do a practice session with me. Double woohoo! I finished learning Cooley's Reel on the weekend. Next up: The Boyne Hunt.

Must go find throat lozenges now. Ugh.
