Artifacts of a Life, coming 9/21!
Artifacts of a Life, a new type of Arts & Sciences event that is jointly sponsored by The Barony Beyond the Mountain and the Barony of Carolingia, is coming on September 21!
The event centers around display of artifacts that could have been left behind by a plausible historic persona -- it does not have to be your SCA persona. We want to look at ( Read more... ) -
roses
I can blather more about it now that they are given. Countess Kiena made a request of us (me and Luke) for a metal rose for Avelina, on her becoming a Lady of the Rose, because she really liked the one that Luke had made for her at the last Metalsmiths Symposium. Luke didn't have the time, but I decided to take it on.
The most fun I've had in ages ( Read more... ) -
WFH today
Keeping vigil with Nicholas as he passes through the worlds. He's a tough little guy, still with us but fading fast. -
fire next door
the house next door caught fire tonight. I had gone to bed, was roused by smoke coming in the windows, whooshing flames, people screaming to get out of the house. I live in a triple decker about 15 feet from my neighbors who were on fire.

Carolingian Heirs
The twisty nature of family trees has led to me discovering that I have heirs to this great barony. The King in his wisdom has identified Baron Fergus MacRae and Baroness Imigla Venture (formerly known as Irayari Vairavi) as my successors. I congratulate them on their inheritance and ask the people of Carolingia to help them in shouldering the ( Read more... ) -
sequentia
last night we saw Sequentia in the persons of Benjamin Bagby and Norbert Rodenkirchen at Houghton chapel in Wellesley. There aren't the words to describe how transcendent an experience it was. It makes me want to change my name to Raedwulf and start banging out a Coppergate helm.
The music /vocal /performance experience as reconstructed by Bagby ( Read more... ) -
As You Like It
Today we had tickets to see "As You LIke It" at the ART. It is basically a student production of their advanced theatre training institute, but since the ART always does something interesting with Shakespeare (like it or not) I figured it would at least be worth seeing even if they did something crazy and "advanced." There was an enticing article ( Read more... ) -
not the opera that we were expecting
although the special effects with the interstate tow truck ride are very realistic, I'm having trouble hearing the orchestra from here ...

Happy Mithras Eve
I spent today doing the festive preparation of cleaning the aquarium filters and vacuuming fish gravel. We've welcomed a little school of tiger barbs to our piscean family. I'm happy to be able to do it. This year has been all about falling off that work-life balance beam and landing splat on the floor. Taking the unexpectedly generous number of ( Read more... )
