I just realized it has been way too long since I last updated my journal/web log. Sorry about that, it has been because life has been full and fun and keeping me away from the computers. The two weeks after we came back from Mike and Joan’s wedding in Las Vegas have been crazy-insanely busy […]
Yesterday was a lot of fun. We started with the SGI-USA Fortune District discussion meeting at Maria’s house where we talked about compassion and embracing our neighbors, and we heard an experience from Maria. Jeff announced that the 2006 Annual Study Guide is available online, by order, and at the community center bookstore. Then many […]
As a medieval living history re-enactor, I frequently get asked if I would like to actually live in the time period. My answer has always been a firm and resounding “Certainly not!” because I much prefer living in a time of flush toilets, hot running water, antibiotics, and with the availability of ice cream.

Last night Erci took me to the Ian Anderson concert at Wolf Trap. It was amazing. Ian featured Lucia Micarelli on violin, and she got her own standing ovation with her energetic version of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” (Ian and the band and the orchestra played backup). She played along with Ian through several re-arranged classical […]
Last night Erci and I went to see Noche Flamenca at Wolf Trap after a quiet sushi dinner at Hama Sushi (which has become our favorite regular sushi restaurant). The saki and sushi were terrific, and helped Erci calm down from a particularly harrowing day at work (her team is immersed in a sense of […]
The php was a smidge tricky in my comments.php file, but I finally got gravatars working in my WordPress blog. Woo hoo! So comment already so I can see your gravatars!
Yesterday Erci accompanied me over to Atelier de la Charrette to help Bob and Peter, Winterbadger, and Bryan test a game of “VSF: Actions at Parroom Station” before Bob goes to Historicon to expose more steam punk fans and miniatures gamers to the allure of the Martian landscape.
