saxikathWell, I got almost everything done that I needed and wanted to do. I didn't have time to do my nails, but maybe I can do that at the airport. (I have quick-dry polish.)
I've been on one of my klutzy streaks the past few days. I stumbled on Sunday and did something to the outside edge of my left foot -- I'm not sure if it's a minor sprain, or just a bruise, or what. Doesn't seem to hurt today unless I poke at it. Then yesterday I slipped on the ice and landed on my rear. Fortunately, the hands went down and the head stayed up, so I didn't crack myself one, and I managed not to land on my tailbone either, but I can tell I whammed myself.
While doing dishes last night, I had my Revels video on and was listening to it from the kitchen. The first instrumental set from that show remains one of my all-time favorites. It starts off with a solo bombard (Breton instrument that looks like a short oboe) in a hauntingly plaintive piece (played by John Fleagle, rest his soul), then segues into pennywhistle with accompaniment, and then into the "dueling bombards" section, which I can't stand still while listening to -- it just makes me want to dance. This set is on the Revels' Celtic Roads CD, too, if you ever want to hear it. I heard it 16 times plus rehearsals when I did the show, and never got tired of it.
Now I should get some work done. Merry Christmas to all in LJ-land for whom it's relevant!
