Well, I had a fine weekend. There was a filk in Milwaukee on Saturday, with most of the Chicago contingent making there way up in the cold. Music, hugs, backrubs, and, after midnight, the Birthday Dirge was sung for me. Thanks,
almeda, for the verse with the sheep and yaks.
aryana_filker,
lisande, and
legoline at some point wrote a German version of Still Beautiful, recorded it together, and kept it a secret from me until the 19th, making a birthday present of it. I’ve got the bestest friends in the whole wide world.
Joyce and I didn’t get to the Chicago housefilk at
alymid‘s, because we were sleeping. Or just in bed. We did get up in time for a nice steak dinner.
