The dwarf was clearly only there as a token dwarf character to sell tickets to lucrative movie-going dwarf demographic. Lose him.

Hey list man:

Hey! I can handle it.

I'm off to bed here. It's after midnight (why am I up?). And, the 13-year-old wants the computer (for the first time this summer, I might add) and the grumpy dog-on-a-diet wants to go outside...

See you folkses tomorrow...

Not to sound as if I've led way-to-sheltered a life or anything...but what is the concept behind "peeing up a rope"?

an exercise in futility...you end up peeing all over yourself...

I'm going to try this tune. What do you think?

I like it. I'm going to print it out and try it too.

This is the version I use. Supposedly it's in D. I looked it up on that ABC tunefinder site.

Usually stuff that is played in D tuning but in a minor key is in Em...but for Irish stuff a lot of it is in kinda half-minor (Dorian mode, I think it's called?) instead. We're talking about the same key, in other words, but I named it wrong!

Good Morning All! It's Friday for me. Today's weather: High of 80 and light rain clearing. Tommorrow's weather: Clear and sunny, high of 82!

Tomorrow, and maybe Saturday too, I'm undertaking the annual battle of the crowds (masses of a$$es as my wife says) to go to the Minnesota State Fair.

Have any of you all been to that great and terrible event?

LOL! Thanks guys! You are the best. I have to have the test read by 10am, so I'll probably go as soon as we finish breakfast. Then Matthew and I are going to work on getting school caught up. We lagged when I had that headache a few days ago.

Then we can go into the weekend with a light heart! The powwow is this weekend and I'm looking forward to checking out some more flutes.

Yeah, I haven't been around long enough to know them all yet. My wife is an elementary music teacher (public school) and has a couple flutes and recorders herself, and she keeps threatening to teach me, because I do LOVE the sound. But a dwarf playing a flute? I don't know.....

People would think you were spending too much time around Elves.

Our State Fair is at the end of September. But we plan to go and take the kids. It's better than our County Fair (which we usually just avoid). At the County Fair you have to pay for each ride. Last time we went it would've been $13.50 for three of us to ride the Ferris Wheel. But at the State Fair, it's pay one price and ride everything. We don't do many of the rides, but that's still the best way to handle what we do want.

Have a funnel cake and a bloomin' onion for us...

Well, the one I have is a native american flute. Not like a "classical" flute...it's made out of cane and is blown like a whistle.

You can hear what I think is a small snippet of one of these flutes here:

This is where we're going this weekend.

Or hobbits!

I think elves would be more likely to play harp and dulcimer type thingies...

As if spending time with either elves OR hobbits was a bad thing!
