I am back from Italy, and I am both happy and sad. Italy is home away from home with me, but the Celtic Invasion Vacation turned it into something SO much more. I'm gonna try to put together a Pub Songs Podcast to highlight the exciting times I had. But for now, it's catch up time. And boy, is there a lot to do to catch up. Special thanks to Jamie and Katie for helping me keep the Weeklies running while I was off adventuring.
Listen to the Song of the Week: “Kitty Martin” from Live at the Cactus Cafe: Cat Songs and Celtic Music
Quote of the Week: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau
