After my apple watch fell apart, I vowed to give up watches. I went years, decades really, with just my phone as a time source. Then, the issues started. Although I didn't care for the apple watch monitoring everything about my life, it had a few features that I find really handy. I like alerts … Continue reading Wyze Band

She's a weird chick. But this is a compelling version of the song. It's about Ireland's war for independence from the Brits. https://youtu.be/-9UXN-uTFak Back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was soreFor I parted with those valiant men whom I'll never shall see moreBut to and fro in my dreams … Continue reading Sunday Music

More Irish Music. I first saw Dervish at the Irish Festival in Gaithersburg Maryland. To say they are compelling is an understatement. I can watch Cathy Jordan sing all day long. https://youtu.be/7mdpci6qDe0 Red Haired Mary This one is great. A compelling story, a lesson easily translatable to today's times. For the life of me I … Continue reading Sunday Music

I knew an Irish guy that had a great T-Shirt. Said "I'm Irish and I don't give a shit where your grandmother was from". Something like that. Three our of four grandparents were from the old country. One whose family came over during the potato famine, the others at Irelands civil war in 1916. I … Continue reading Sunday Music

When I first heard this song on his album, I figured it was a goofy country song. You know, wife left me and took the dog kind of thing. https://youtu.be/jK_9ppta_M0 Turns out it wasn't. On the live CD, Emmylou Harris tells how she loves Mark Knopfler's songs. There's always a story. When they were prepping … Continue reading Sunday Music, on Saturday.
Say, That’s a Reasonable Likeness
I've been playing around with ArtFlow, trying to get a reasonable likeness of myself. It came pretty close. Close My beard is no longer as full, but it is a full one these days. Compare it to a graphic my son-on-law made for me: Me with no grey I'll try and find a real shot … Continue reading Say, That’s a Reasonable Likeness
