Another great booksale

Another successful outing at the annual Lancaster Library book sale yesterday. It seemed that there were less titles this year than in previous years but that didn't stop Cathie, Donna and I from snagging some excellent books. Hardcovers were 3 for $5 and paperbacks (including trade paper size) were 5 for $2! I also picked up some $.50 CD's this year so all in all a great morning.

Prize finds this year would be the hardcover "Crime and Punishment" that I had said going in that I wanted and Cathie found right away. Also a couple Peter Straub books and "The Name of the Rose" that I don't think was ever opened. Time spent 2 hours. Dollars spent, $15. Entertainment value...priceless.

POG - Poor Ould Gnome??




POG at The Shannon Pub 4/11 & 4/12

Two wonderful evenings at The Shannon Pub this past weekend. They have great food, pour an excellent pint and treated us like rock stars for two evenings! I was a little disillusioned on Sunday when I had to get up and get my own coffee at home!

Poor Ould Goat is looking at another possible date there in May and we will be part of their Buffalo Irish Festival this summer.

Faces in the crowd:

I meet a couple Mr. Wonderful Surprise fans who are now also POG fans and we compare bootleg shirts:

My sister-in-law Cathie appears to have a question for the band:

Greatest. Cereal. EVER!

...and a pretty darn good band too!


Now I'll have to go and dig out the Mr. Wonderful Surprise?! "What 'ja Makin' CD and give "Bad Haircut" a spin.

Also, I suspect that the "creamy chocolate filling" was actually pudding! Boy I miss that cereal...and the band too.
