Huh?

I was at an event this evening where I was subjected to a loud live band. My ears are still ringing. I saw a woman signing and I did what Chip suggested - I pointed at my ear and flicked my hand away as if to suggest that my hearing has fled. She was more than willing to show me a few things, and ended up using her fist to circle her heart as if to say that she loves signing. I was unable to ask her where I might learn ASL, as my signing skills are somewhere between those of Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah and the guy signing behind Obama at the dead commie's funeral, but since it is becoming clear that I am going deaf perhaps I should get serious about it.

I much prefer quiet places, to wit:

Huh?

I was at an event this evening where I was subjected to a loud live band. My ears are still ringing hours later. I saw a woman signing and did what Chip suggested - I pointed at my ear then kind of flicked my hand away as if to say my hearing has fled. She signed a few things and at the end circled her fist on her heart as if to say "I love signing". Unfortunately I wasn't able to ask her where I can learn sign language. I was about as fluent as Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah or the guy signing behind Obama at that dead commie's funeral, which is to say I was somewhere between nonsensical and incoherent. Yep, some days are just like that.
