Slow Down

Greetings and felicitations. 2003 really flew by, didn't it? The older you get, the quicker time seems to pass. Since most of us enjoy our lives, it's a pity that they should seem to pass so quickly. I began thinking. How can we get time to slow down? Remember when we were kids? Everything seemed to take FOREVER. That's because when we were young, we were forced to do a lot of things that we hated. Things like school, Sunday school, homework and The Icecapades were forced on us and time seemed to stand still. On the rare occasion that we got to do something fun, it whipped by and was over with before we knew it.

As adults, we structure our lives so that (hopefully) they are filled with work and recreational activities that we enjoy. I think because we, as adults, are usually not bored and actually stimulated and amused, our lives seem to go by so very fast.

My idea is to create situations for ourselves that are boring or even downright unpleasant. That should bring things to a grinding halt. Try dating a person with a spastic colon. Why not rent "Death To Smoochy" and watch it all weekend? Or gargle with thumbtacks, shave your head with a cheesegrater and then walk through Crossgates Mall wearing nothing but a diaper? How about a short prison term in Turkey?

You Hittin' On Me?

This web site recently got it's one hundred thousandth hit. These are actual hits. Most businesses start off with thousands of hits to make them seem like they are already established and wildly popular. We started at one and have accumulated our hits the old fashioned way. Thanks for visiting. Y'all come back now. Hear?

Please Go Away

We will soon be announcing our next road trip/vacation. It will be in 2005. 2005 will be here before you know it. (see "Slow Down"). Keep watching. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Five Live In Ohio

Euclid (a suburb of Cleveland) Ohio has hosted the band for it's Irish Festival. We are now booked to play their Irish-American Club in February. The people there have been very kind to us and we are very much looking forward to being the featured act in their club.

Something really, really cool is in the works. I'm not allowed to talk about it at this time. I should know for sure soon. Stay tuned. Be well.
