A friend and I went to the Irish Festival a couple of years ago. As festivals go, it wasn't bad. I joked to my friend that I don't understand Irish music. It seems that the love songs are always sad and the war songs are lively. He laughed and said "Y'know, you're right; I never thought of it that way". I'm part Irish so he knows that I wasn't ridiculing, just having a little fun.

It's been dreary here all day so I changed plans, too, and decided to get more things done around the house. The sun peeks for a little while, then the skies turn gray again.
