Home Again

Back from Pennsic. harpnfiddle was good company both ways -- also she got me started on my first Kumihimo braid, which went pretty well. Pennsic was good, if a bit strange at times. First oddness? It was louder than I expected and no, I'm not talking about the parties. We live in the country, so highway sounds aren't a normal part of our day-to-day living. Interesting.

Six storms on the drive from PA to home today.

At Pennsic, great talks with various folks, including nq3x, dreda, and rising_moon, chrisilin and many others. Runnymede went very well indeed! Details in ellid's Pennsic posts, including pictures.

Both cats are alive and well :)

Am not going to try to catch up on everyone's LJ posts. If there's something you really want me to see and/or know about, comment here or send me an email (which I'll start catching up on tomorrow).

Battles, tournaments, classes, dancing, parties, and all the other usual things happened. I saw/participated in some of them. Scored 19 archery war points for the East -- not bad for someone who shot two ends at the 20 yard target in June and nothing else for the past two years...

Most things I planned on doing got accomplished but not all. Too wet for artwork, and one maple delivery didn't work out so will have to try again later.

Highlights? Runnymede Dinner, especially seeing how well everyone worked together to make it happen -- Bergental and friends rock! Sitting by the campfire or in the shade pavilions chatting. Unexpected encounters with old friends. The Perseid meteor I saw in the southern sky (east to west) around 3:00 a.m. Saturday with the trail of sparkling lights behind it.
