I had to look up "ceilidh" and "mirkwood".  I'm half Irish ancestry , but never got into the old country stuff; and I barely remeber reading Tolkien.  You have a good memory, I do not <g>.  Well, I'm glad the NAIS thing doesn't affect you, for now.  But, you know, as well as I do, that the nosey , busy-body gov't types are eventually going to have an excuse to look at everyone's everything.......bobford
