Recap

So yeah. I'm still here in Galway. This was not a creative ploy, cute practical joke or a strange dream. I seriously changed my mind at the last second and decided to stay and re-booked my flight for July 19th.

There were a whole myriad of reasons and signs telling me that staying was the right thing, and in the end, I'm sure it was. The biggest of them though is something that's rather personal and I'm not comfortable going into a lot of detail in a public forum, at least not right now. But that's also been pre-occupying most of my thought process lately, and since this space is normally just a place to dump out that thought process, it's left me with little to write about here. We'll just say it involves a girl and a what appears to be a much longer shot chance than it should be, and leave it at that.

But at the end of the day, at least I can say I tried and what a story it will make someday.

In the meanwhile, I've been trying to make the most of my extra time here. I played in a session at the Crane the other day, and for a bit last night at An Pucan, another great trad pub that I hadn't even been to previously. I'm also trying to ween myself back into being ready for some real tech work by helping update the web site for my housemates' theatre company, as their next production goes on stage later this week.

Give it a look and if anyone in Galway happens to read this, I strongly encourage you to come out and support the folks in this production:
