Had 5 days of "oh dear god, people are gonna be here soon!" cleaning...and the house was presentable.  Once again, the promises of trying to keep it that way have been made.  We will see how long it lasts.  But the house looked good, the library is useable again, the kitchen looks like humans use it to actually prepare food ( Read more... )

Been a bit since I posted.  Made it through Queens.  Fought 4 fights as the bye...lost 3 of them.  I sucked. ~wry grin~  Had some good moments, and Cael ended up winning in the end.  Very easy to pass on the duty as I know he will do a wonderful jop as QC.  Was a good day....if a bit...surreal for me ( Read more... )

Heading down to Houston tonight.  Queens Champion Tourney tomorrow.  Has been an interesting 6 months as QC.  Very...enlightening in some ways.  Very disillusioning in others.  Mostly...very tiring.  Ready to let the next person take their place.

The last week or so has been....less than fun.  Thank you to those that let me rant, listened and gave support.  The universe sometimes decides that we need to almost have good things.  The emphasis on almost ( Read more... )

So Queens Champion is this coming weekend.  I will step down and another will take my place.

It has been an interesting 6 months.  Learned some things about myself.  About others.  About how what you do will be received.  How what others do is viewed.  And that what is obvious to me is not always to others.  And that is just the nature of the beast ( Read more... )

And I expected a different result this time why?

So....survived BG Baronial.  It went well, I think.  People had fun.  The tourney format worked really well.  A nice combination of letting folks play persona but in the end, you still had to fight well enough to win.  Push comes to shove, I am a fighter.  It is what I do...not great at persona, not wonderful at being a courtier.  I happen to be ( Read more... )

Greetings Ansteorra!

Two weekends ago, Bjornsborg held an event so amazing that the Gods themselves attended. It was an amazing day!

Last weekend, Ffynnon Gath held an event that was EPIC!

But...as today is St Crispin's Day....I will paraphrase the Bard Himself and say that there will be men abed across the Knowne World who will hold their ( Read more... )

At tonight's Baronial Business Meeting, Gwenneth and I announced that we are stepping down as Baron and Baroness. We will be stepping down and Candlemas in February. It is not by choice that this is happening, it is because of mundane issues.  Bryn Gwlad is an absolutely amazing group of people and I am utterly honored to be the Baron.

Thank ( Read more... )
