The little guy

So, remember I said that I bought a new lizard? Would you like to see pictures of him and Mu interacting? Ok, here you go.


Please, please, please!

May I just say that although I adore Mu and the new lizard, I HATE CRICKETS. I moved the cricket cage into the far side of the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning today, but I can still hear them chirping from the bedroom with a thick blanket over my head.

The Romgi says not to kill the crickets, but they just won’t be quiet…and they are driving me crazy!!

Tommy Emmanuel

We have dinner at my Aunt Carole’s house every third Sunday. It’s a chance for all the cousins and extended family in the area to get together and have FHE. The Romgi and I were the last remaining guests there this week, enjoying the company and delicious cookies, when my Uncle Ted pulled out his iPod to have me listed to the new Alison Krauss album (excellent) and another bluegrass artist he had just discovered. Then, since I liked those so much, he put in a dvd of a live performance by Tommy Emmanuel, an Australian guitarist.

I am hooked.

This guy is pretty freaking amazing. My favorite song is this arrangement he does of Saltwater, a song originally done by Julian Lennon.
