What I learned from the all-too-brief encounter with …

I’m beginning to realize I should have named my youngest daughter, rather than my ex-husband doing it. I would have named her something like Siobhan, or Nuala or something creative.
I guess she’s okay with Carrie, although both of us would be happier if even that was spelled with a celtic flair. Kerry. Dark natured, dark-haired. Suits her.
Anyway, my little celtic daemon has decided she really does like playing the flute, but would rather play one more suited to her heritage.
I had no idea that an Irish flute costs as …

Ah, the wonders of a brief coffee break after the bitter cold of the outside world, just before getting back to sorting words and punctuation for authors.
Cate, evil scary lady that she is, tagged me. She was tagged by KV Taylor. Both of them think their lives are/were uninteresting.
