Steven, Steven! Whenever you are in the cafe here I always reach for my dictionary knowing I will be looking up something. Selkie is not in Webster's so for anyone else who did not know what a selkie is, from Google:
"The shy Selkies are marine creatures in the shape of a seal. They can be found near the islands of Orkney and Shetland. A female can shed her skin and comes ashore as a beautiful woman. When a man finds the skin, he can force the Selkie to be a good, if somewhat sad, wife. Should she ever recover the skin, she will immediately return to the sea, leaving her husband behind. The male Selkies are responsible for storms and also for the sinking of ships, which is their way of avenging the hunting of seals"
Being a Muse is a much more attractive proposition!
Thank you Sharon, all the support here is appreciated and you WILL be hearing of my adventure down south. I met a woman this morning who told me I will find everyone is more pleasant (which I have experienced on my trips to Atlanta) in the south because there is more sunshine. It is 70 and gray and raining today in Cleveland, tomorrow it will be 34 and Lord knows, it is never ever good weather for the St. Patrick's Day parade, though we all show up for it anyways!!
