BdeB asked what our activity level had been this year. This was supposed to be my year of retirement to focus on artistic projects. Looking back I am not very good at being retired.

Holiday Revel in Nottinghill. Nice quiet event. Not much to do except spend time with friends. Did do some Excheq stuff and helped with some drama over event planning.

University-Went for Caitlyn's elevation. As I remember, it was a long event and I was not feeling well. Long court.

Ymir-ended up trolling much of the day so much for retirement :-) Nice time with new friends. "Met" Lady Rhi/Elias. Hotel with sick Nia. Dinner with wonderful company in scarey Tiki place. Laughs over come as you aren't. Stolen necklace.

Ponte Alto Investiture-Sweet hospitality at R & K's. Troll in the cold. Miserable back. Time w/ BdeB. Cuan in pink satin gloves and an orange ascot.

Coronation-The Untea. Fealty and tears. Slamming doors in the night.

Crown-I miss Les when he MOLs. You aren't even allowed to talk to them...but he loves it so. Tiny site. Good company (thanks Kevin and Jake).

Jonleurie-Travel and sitting outside a gate. Laughter. Daemon on horseback. Too little time with Aenor. Live birds and excrement at high table!

Highland River Melee-Long trip but great hospitality at Theo's. Tiring event. Dinner with new friends.

Collegium-Laughter with Mistress Rhi...fund raiser surprise success.

Sacred Stone Birthday-Cuan a Pel...worth the worry of being public when I felt private. Too soon I think after the grief of Pennsic week.

Coronation-fundraiser lunch. Disappointment with an officer. Surprises as a Pelican. Hotel with all my friends but too tired or busy to see them. Bum!

Cattle Raids-The event of Emma. A new relationship and responsibilities. Home in a car full of cows.

University-heat and humidity. Unexpected tasks. Too little time with friends. The best of post revels and finally time to relax with friends.

I don't think I missed anything....

The rest of the year????

Crusades...Silver Chalice and Unevent. Maybe St Fortunas.

Safe travels all.
