Saxon Summer event in Rivenvale
I have tried several drafts of this, and no matter what I say or how I say it, it sounds like I am bragging - ok, I admit it - I'm bragging. Something happened this weekend I did not expect to ever happen, but I am actually very proud of ( Read more... ) -
been a while since my last post...
My first post in nearly two years, and it's once more full of bad news. I am getting very sick of people dear to me dying. I heard tonight that Huette, Master Hroar's wife has been taken of life support and has passed from cancer. Tom Scheidt died of injuries from a fall earlier this month. He was half of Fannigan's Isle, and the bag-pipper who ( Read more... ) -
Very Sad News
I found out tonight that one of the true heros of the SCA - someone I have looked up to and who inspired me to be my best - is dying. Mistress Rannveigr was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 27th - stage 4 - and has been sent home from the hospital to hospice care. The word is that she has probably 3 weeks to live ( Read more... ) -
Plumbing adventures
I am still rather amazed and extremely grateful to the members of the SCA barony I call home. We had a totally mundane plumbing problem - an apparently broken water pipe in the line from the well to the house. The plumber who had come out and diagnosed the problem had given us an estimate of what it would take to fix it, which was potentially ( Read more... ) -
More on the car....
I took the car in today to be repaired. The initial estimate was for it to be ready either Friday or Monday, but when I dropped it off they said it would be ready Tuesday. Not sure why the difference, but ok, Tuesday only means I'm stuck in a rental one day more. The rental they gave me is a 2010 Chevy Malibu, loaded. It doesn't have heated seats ( Read more... ) -
more about the accident
I got a copy of the police report - the idiot who caused it actually has insurance. He also had most of a bottle of canadian whiskey inside him when he was arrested at his home, where he went immediately after hitting the car behind me at the stop light, pushing that car into my car. He left his front license plate at the scene, so even if a good- ( Read more... ) -

Busy day
It truly was a busy day. Rowan and Ustad are now married, all nice and legal. The ceremony was held in Germantown, outside in a nice parklike area next to the church that was the backup site for bad weather. Weather was beautiful (as was the bride, of course). I don't know it the park was actually owned by the church ot not, but I suspect it ( Read more... ) -
Pennsic incidents
I want to assure my friends that I am alive and healthy, having survived my 35th Pennsic war this year. I was removed from site by ambulance on battle Monday due to chest pains, shortness of breath, and diaphoresis on exertion. The initial ekg when EMS arrived on scene showed a bundle branch block. However, the arrhythmia resolved on it's own, with ( Read more... )
