Guess who's back? Were you all aware that Shady is back? Apparently I am supposed to tell a friend. Shady is back and he's chopped liver because no one wants Marshall no more.

My goodness the music these kids listen to. And apparently this song is 'old'. One of the kids in my shelter was dancing to this and then one of the other kids told them they shouldn't be listening to music so ancient and they played some strange, new thing with Shady again about burning. I swear one of the lyrics was 'you have to watch her leave through the window, guess that's why they call it window pane' or something ridiculous.

If only they knew how ancient their worker was. They asked me what kind of music I liked and I sort of squeaked something about Flogging Molly and shuffled away. Because 'Actually I prefer choral chamber music without instruments, because we used to believe they came from the devil so they weren't allowed in church!' might make me sound something of a loon.

So really, if I think about it, I don't think 'window pane' is any more ridiculous than believing a hurdy gurdy came from the devil. That Shady still sounds like a deeply unpleasant person.

I think accordions definitely came from the devil.

What about bagpipes? The accordion can, with the right backing to it, occasionally manage not to sound like an animal dying.

I plan to leave that particular inclination where it belongs. In the past.

Trying to find out who this Shady man was I looked it up and ended up on something called urbandictionary.com.

Please don't make me ever go back there, Patrick.

Oh no, Agatha. Urbandictionary.com is not for you. I don't venture there either. It's a terrifying place.

But choral music without accompaniment is beautiful. Why would people think you are a loon for that?

Not for that. For saying instruments came from the devil. People tend to get put away for saying things like that. And for claiming to be over 1,600 years old. Even if it is true!

These kids today, with their rap music and their flash-dancing.

Georgie George, I'm restless :( Entertain me!

Probably for the best.

Well, my first answer was "We'll go bother Dewi and Andrew and make them entertain us", but we could also go to Coney Island? I haven't been since the last time I was in New York, like 50 years ago, and I want to ride a roller coaster!

Yes, I really think it is.

Oh please can we go to Coney Island, Georgie, please?!

Yes! There haven't been enough spinning tea cups and bumper cars in our life. This must be fixed!

Will you hold my hand if I get scared in the Haunted House?!

There are three! One of them is even called Dante's Inferno, but unless The Inferno had a whole section on gorillas, there's not much resmblance to the book.

Hah! I am still going to cling, gorillas or no!

I am so excited!

I quite like harps. And organs. But I think lyrics have definitely gone down over the years.

...you don't go into my ipod, do you?

I like them now that I know they are not going to summon the devil!

An organ really making the most of a cathedral's acoustics is a beautiful thing.

No reason!

It truly is.

...okay! Of course now I'm worried you're harboring a Shady appreciation!
