Hawkwood Investiture
I was scheduled to teach a half hour class on the auto & small engine repair databases at the Vintage Car Show on Saturday. I was also scheduled to work the whole weekend, which meant missing Hawkwood Investiture. With honeypot904 being invested, I was bummed not to be able to go. After some weekend swapping (meaning I am going to miss Feast of St George due ( Read more... ) -
Doing the Neuton Dance
I couldn't resist the subject line. Every time I saw anything about the Neuton battery powered mower, I kept hearing The Pointer Sisters in my head.
This morning we participated in HOG Day 2010, an event organized by Hands on Greenville. The Staff Association at the library signed up to help with the vegetable garden at Project Host, a soup ( Read more... ) -

I wore the engineer outfit. It was great fun. I got to chat with folks I don't see nearly often enough. There were some great outfits too. We got back home ( Read more... ) -
Howling and Steering
Last weekend Eldred and I headed up to Arden for Hawkwood Howl. We actually stayed onsite Saturday night. It's been ages since we did that. Usually we daytrip or stay in a hotel. I spent a couple of hours helping at troll then just bummed around, mostly with Alisoun. The weather was pleasant and the trees were lovely. I woke up Sunday with the ( Read more... ) -
University
I had a relaxing and fun trip to University. I was reluctant to go because I didn't really want to take classes and wasn't teaching. I have been majorly blah about the SCA recently. Not wanting to go to one of my favorite events is yet another symptom of that. Eldred's pout combined with the thought of spending 8 hours in the car with Bran ( Read more... ) -
