Busy Week
Out every evening ….
Monday — Irish Class
Tuesday — Loading colgaffneyis trailer, and a belated birthday dinner. See here
Wednesday — colgaffneyis Dance Guild. Also begin packing for the weekend.
Thursday — Set up colgaffneyis camp at the Minnesota Scottish Fair.
Friday — Go to the Fair. Dinner there and camping out for the night.
Saturday (All day) — The fair itself. The weather should be much better than last year.
Work and relaxation with friends
After I got home mia_mcdavid and I went to colgaffneyis work party to load our newly repaired trailer for the Farmington show this weekend. There were enough people, all in good spirits, so this went well. Just took a while because we had changed how we pack for shows, and twolodge had to rethink how to load the stuff. Since he will be towing the trailer with his truck, he gets to have it loaded just the way he wants :-)>
Afterwards c_nocturnum, her husband, Mia, James, and I went out to dinner at the Bulldog Restaurant a couple miles away. This was a delayed birthday dinner for me. Excellent beer, food, and company. I had a Kobe beef hamburgers (rare) and French fries with Parmesan cheese and truffles. First time I ever had Kobe beef, and it lived up to expectations. Kobe beef and truffles–I was reminded of a line from one of Poul Anderson’s SF stories about Dominic Flandry: “What is the point of living in a decadent age if you don’t know how to enjoy the decadence?”
A brief getaway
I spent my lunch hour at the Hennepin County Law Library. Not for any legal business–I brought some of my Irish books and notes there to prepare for tonight’s class. If I had stayed at my desk somebody would have interrupted me. It was pleasant and productive. I like libraries.

About the author….
I was looking at the back cover of A Learner’s Guide to Irish, by Donna Wong. At the end of the usual blurb about the author I read this:
Her publications include articles about early and Modern Irish literature and Táin Rúttapaca Cuailnge, a creative and health-conscious retelling of Táin Bó Cuailnge.
Bó is “cow” in Irish.

First Bike ride of the year
….cut short when I found my front brake did not work. I had lost one of the brake pads. I was able to buy a replacement at the local bike shop, and alter it to fit–the bicycle is about 25 years old, so I saw no point in looking for an exact match. After the repair took it around the block. Not much of a ride, but the thrill is still there, and the old machine still works.
