Lockerbie at Airwaves 12

Icelandic band Lockerbie looking very young at Airwaves 2012.  I loved their debut album, and this delightful video that came from it. I should see what they’ve been up to lately.

Dreams of War

I bought Brown Girl Dreaming for my daughter for Christmas, and now I am reading a poem to her each night before bed. Last night I read “South Carolina at War.” I’m going to copy the entire poem here, which is a lot of text to pull from a copyrighted book. But I can’t say what I need to without first making sure you know the whole story.

40 Years Old in Iceland

 

I was greeted by this sign the first time I arrived in Iceland, and I knew I was going to love it there. Now that I’m 40, I’m not sure I believe it is true, but I still love Iceland.
