Saturday was wet and soggy, very soggy. We in La Belle Compagnie managed to have the camp mostly ready for public show only a little after opening hours despite the rain and many of us needing to catch-up and socialize a bit. I personally could not get motivated to pull out my armor and sword […]
We got back from a fantastic Windjammer Cruise late last night. A brief log of the adventure follows… On Saturday the 18th we flew to St. Thomas and U.S. Airways lost one of our checked bags. We checked into the Galleon House B&B hours late because we waited in a line of 80 odd families […]
I am trying to figure out the right way to get certain parts of our travel plans published so that people can join us or make plans with us easier. I am stumbling around here, but I’ll try a post first, then figure out how to put it in my sidebar later. February 11th and […]
Well, I caught the crud that’s going around. I perpetually have stuffed and useless sinuses the last few years, which is a shame because I used to be known for a shockingly keen sense of smell, though certainly not anytime recently. Wednesday morning I awoke at about 3 am with a dry and pasty tongue […]
Saturday sutragirl and I went to three holiday parties.

Really large flakes of snow just started to fall outside my home office window here near Gilbert’s corners. It is very pretty, but I supposed I’ll have to drive in through this and that will be less than fun.
This long Thanksgiving weekend has held both Erci and I house bound with colds, so we have been very domestic, cleaning, watching movies and shows off the Dishplayer, and catching up on kitty-play time with Bailey the cat and ferret chasing time with Leonardo. Spanglish good clean fun. I have been wanting to catch this […]
Erci and I spent yesterday and last night at the Fall Showcase and Medalist Ball put on by the Arthur Murray studio we’ve gone to since May of 1996. As usual, the event was very well run and the dancing was more beautiful than usual. Erci and I piled on the Tango routines for this […]
Erci went ahead and ordered a Prius, she has details at In my Field of Paper Flowers. She chose red, which we expect to be a bit darker than the one in this picture:
So it is nearly a week since the election and I am still thrilled to have taken an active role in it. The hours of work, the challenge of doing things I never thought I’d like doing, and the pain in the wallet of political contributions are all worth it! In exchange you get to […]
