A little corner? I am 226#... THAT is almost 60 # lost now, but I AM STILL A BIG LAD. A little corner would not suffice. Maybe Seamus and I could lie in the middle of the floor?

Gnu,
At the last Seamus Kennedy house concert @ Sinsull's(which was outside in summer) I watched the canine Seamus pick up my bottle of water, walk far enough away so I couldn't reach him, pry the bottle top off with his teeth and tip the bottle just enough so he could drink out of it. I wouldn't put typing past him! :-)

Gnu - Micca's room is still decorated in pink. You can crash there or claim the other bedroom for your own. Just one or two rules - The cats can do anything. I don't snore. And do not speak to me in the AM before I have had sufficient coffee. You'll know when I stop snarling.

Pink? Coral or rose or hot or.... ? I am VERY particular.
I would use a lot of pink paint in my house as it apparently tends to calm a person (even used in police detention areas due to this effect), however, if I ever start dating again, I don't really want any of the lasses I bring home to be "calm". >;-)

Of course, if the other Seamus and I did have to share any horizontal floor space, pink would be the best.

PS... note that I refrained from saying "rooster dink pink" as I am a gentleman... when I am calm.

A farmer's life... too busy working outside in the Spring and Summer to "indulge" in computerfication. Fall and Winter, the only way to stay warm in our 1830s farmhouse was to huddle around the wood stove, far from the cold back room wherein we ensconced the computer.

We abandoned the old farmhouse last year when we could no longer keep it warmer than 35 degrees INside. At that point we looked at our 20-year-old toasty-warm woodshop and decided to engage in some Rural Real-Estate Flipping (that's when you make your outbuilding into a house, and your house into an outbuilding).

Now the "new" woodshop-turned-cosy-wee-cottage is done, and I have a laptop that allows me to type while enjoying the warmth of the stove. So..... ceilidh, anyone? We're just fifteen minutes inland from Freeport, and we'd love to have this place graced by a few good sessions!

Mary, I'm so, so sorry to tell you this.

I got up this morning and figured I really ought to bring some food this time. Now, I don't cook that much, but I think I know what I can do, so I will. It's either desert or breakfast.

So, I apologize, but I can't not come, and I will bring this thing if I manage to not turn it into charcoal when I don't not show up.

Thank you, and again, I'm sorry.

Sorry about the other folks, too.

Ingredients:
two pounds of cactus prepared and diced
a couple cans of diced tomatoes
three or four pickled jalapeno peppers (or to taste)
three cloves or more (to taste) of garlic
one-half medium onion
a can each of red kidney, black bean, and pinto beans
pinch of basil
a bunch of cilantro
quarter cup of olive oil
couple dashes of salt and some ground black pepper will add flavor
A handful of sunflower seeds, shelled pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts, or any mix of them
For a real crowd pleaser at a picnic or party make this cactus salsa ahead of time and allow to blend its flavors in the refrigerator for a few hours or more. Just mix all the ingredients above that you can obtain. Some hot peppers are always in favor here in the SouthWest, but other folks may need it tamed down on the hot peppers some. One can use this as a dip for tortilla chips, or a relish and garnish on burritos (see breakfast burritos to the right), meat dishes or a general spicy condiment.

Once again Seamus put on a superior performance and he always gives full measure.I say this from the heart, not the Bushmills he shared with me! My old Glen Morangie may be in trouble.

He has a new CD coming out with cowboy songs on it that I used to hear as a boy going to the movies (10 cents for a double feature) on Saturday afternoons.

For those who have never seen Seamus, he is a master showman who never loses his audience. I was never able to play 6/8 time with a pick but he makes it look easy. He also has more tasteless jokes than I do!

Another great night and Seamus (the man) outdid himself both in song and humour. I did note a few jokes that I've heard Kendall tell, but I'm not sure who got them from who. Talk about panties being thrown on stage led to a remark from Seamus that nearly had me choking on a mouthful of wine, but it's not the sort of thing that I can repeat here.

We're going to try and make sure that it's not as long a time between Seamus's visits in the future - maybe coordinate with other house concert hosts in Maine.

Thank you sir, it was a delight to have you here.

I really do love Seamus and I'm sure his cowboy song cd will be great. Sounds like a good night for a;;!

Jacko.......We need to talk. Have you read many of my posts?   Exactly what is it that you can't tell here?   Where's Sinsull? What's the scoop? You can't say something like that then just let it dangle. Do you need an Anne Frank Drum Kit or what?

Now you need to get Dick Miles as Seamus suggested. Just an ocean away...just a few hours, just a few waves, really just a few....Dick Miles........He can be there with concertina and voice.

Ok, I'm not too proud to tell all.
Seamus, (the man) asked for a piece of paper to write a reminder on, and a certain member of the audience, whom I shall not name, tossed him a notebook. Being nearest to him and he being on a stool, I picked it up and handed it to him. As I did, I told him that I remember when they used to throw panties at us, and he said, "And we knew it was going to be a great night when they stuck." I'm not sure I know what he meant, but everyone laughed.
