too much winter!
It's official, I have had too much winter. Yesterday I slipped on my neighbor's icy sidewalk on my way to work, twisted my knee and landed on my hip, elbow, shoulder and head, re-injuring my right shoulder and neck >:( I'm never going to get to sword-fight at this rate! Not begging for sympathetic comments, I'm sore but will be okay. Sad and angry ( Read more... ) -
BRRRR!!... just whining
Today I got an email from a friend in Vermont who says it was 33 below with 40mph winds there this morning. Somehow it does not make me feel warm to think that it is almost up to freezing here (currently 28, yesterday was 20). I hope weather.com is right and it will be in the 60s next week - I'm going camping soon! -

Mardi Gras in New Orleans
I made it home safely but I'm still waiting on my luggage! I had to leave the house early so Angie could lock up before going to work, and got to the airport 4 hours early. They convinced me to take an earlier flight with just a 1/2hr layover in Houston (for $25). Because of the fog in New Orleans, that 1/2hr turned into 15 minutes and I jogged ( Read more... ) -
quick update on New Orleans
Night before I left, I watched "Snakes on a Plane" and thought it was hi-freakin-larious. Even funnier was the special feature where someone said, (paraphrased), "I think everyone is afraid of snakes and planes." I realized why I liked it - I like snakes AND planes, so there was no fear involved and I got all the jokes... the unlikable parts went ( Read more... ) -
Armoring, sewing, photographing bikes
Two weekends ago, I went to the Bright Hills Investiture (SCA event) with William. Fortunately I knew a few people there. He was busy being the King's squire. Sunday I went to William's for a superbowl party. There were about 7 couples, 11 kids and me. I watched a little of the superbowl and worked on a knee cop. My new helmet came in the mail and ( Read more... ) -
