Good weekend

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Had a pretty good, albeit busy, weekend, We spent Friday evening out at Easton meeting a fellow blogger and his wife for dinner and good conversation, then spent Saturday cleaning and preparing to have a couple of folks over to our house for dinner, and then spent Sunday getting caught up with Christmas shopping and then trying to spend some quiet time at home by ourselves. All in all a pretty good balance. I enjoy being with people but it’s a very tiring experience for little introverted me, and holiday shopping is just plain exhausting all the way around, so the quiet time last night was very well appreciated. Hopefully I’ll make it through all the extra social holiday times with a good balance of quiet time alone to keep me from getting grumpy. I’m sure Angela would appreciate that too! 🙂

The half-day workshop is designed to help train folks to be more suicide aware, and to be “helpers” for those in need. The idea behind TALK is: Tell Ask Listen Keep safe. Obviously, if…

    My wife and I went to see A Beautiful Mind tonight. It was a good movie, but a difficult one for me to watch. Anything that reminds me of the complete emptiness that losing time created in my soul is tough for me to swallow. Watching John come to grips with his delusions, and the…

  • Irish need not apply

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I saw a replica sign that said “Irish Need Not Apply” at the Irish festival, and had some thoughts about that. I was reminded of those thoughts when I was listening to the Donegal X-Press CD I picked up over the weekend this morning. There’s a song on there called The Work Shanty that is…

    Gee has it really been since June that I posted anything here? For that matter, how did it get to be July 9th already? I’m not complaining, last weekend was filled with so much of the fun and frivolity that comes along with celebrating my, and the nation’s, birthday that I seriously have nothing at…
