Johnny Keenan was probably the best Irish banjo player of all time. His brother Paddy Keenan is widely regarded as the best living uilleann piper, still roving Ireland and Amerikay today. I am very fortunate to be friends with Johnny's wife Chris, who has started an annual banjo festival in her late husband's honor. Here are some Keenan family websites:

1759 Society Austin Chapter- That year rings a bell because that's when a beautiful thing happened over in dear ol' Ireland. No, it has nothing to do with the Pope, but it's just as holy.

HOCKEY

If you haven't noticed by now, I like hockey. That's right- big Canadians on ice. Not football, not basketball or baseball, or anything "burnt orange." Get over it.

Some represent the LEFT, others represent the RIGHT, and some are just out there somewhere.

DO A GOOD THING

Folks, if you're having a bad day and life seems kinda pointless, a good way to fix that is to do a selfless act. Here's a few ideas.

Looking for a dog or cat? Look no further! Last year, 17,000 dogs and cats were put to sleep at Town Lake in spite of their efforts to find owners. (That's nearly 47 per day... can you say "Puppy Auschwitz?") Most of them were healthy, happy and perfectly capable of being a member of anyone's family. So be a good human and rescue a critter today! If you can't, please make a tax-deductable donation instead.

Disclaimer: I do not promote making fun of the mentally handicapped. They are simply living with the hand they were dealt. These schoolteachers however, have started a blog to document and vent all the crazy things that happen while educating some retarded kids. Laugh if you can sleep at night afterwards....
