Sonnet Response.

.....Greetings (Mush Alert!),

.....If someone had told me six months ago that I would be where I am today I would have looked at them as if they had just eaten a bug. I am just amazed at just how lucky I am and how blessed my life is at the moment. One can go many years, or a lifetime, without having experienced love. But being in love I never want it to end.

.....It was difficult to sleep, so I spent some time producing the below poor response to the last volley in the Sonnet Wars.

I was surrounded by high walls of stone
Rock and steel made thick and impervious
Inside this cold dark box I stood alone
By living life that was vicarious

With fire she blazed on a steed furious
Walls crumbled into dust at her assault
Her army of will was victorious
Advancing purpose that no man could halt

My heart was bared and open as a vault
When love passed in and filled that empty space
My eyes filled with tears her grace could not fault
As I was struck by beauty from her face

Consuming my life as a phoenix bright
Love now shines and gives out a mighty light.

.....Written in a Spenserian format.

.....With Love, Aaron / Arontius.

September Crown or Bust!

.....Greetings All!

.....I'm about to hit the road in Lobelia. Gonna have breakfast and (hopefully) hit the noon ferry in Port Townsend. I'm just not sure what kind of holiday traffic I'm going to hit.

.....Plan is still a nice leisurely drive through Whidbey and hit the site at 3PM or a little later.

.....Everyone take care on the roads today. They are liable to be brutal with the Labor Day traffic.

.....Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything. :-)

.....Take care, Arontius / Aaron.

Travels To Crown.

.....Greetings!

.....You guys get the blow-by-blow today. I'm at the Port Townsend Ferry Dock right now. It is about 10:30 and the dock is about half full of cars. The guy at the ticket booth said that it'll get kind of crowded, but not bad. Most people are going west on Friday and will be going east on Monday.

.....Turned on the laptop and there were a good dozen wireless networks in the area. But I didn't even have to steal their signal, the Ferry System has their own wireless. Pretty cool actually. Wonder if the Crown site will have wireless? I could get my fix this weekend without going into withdrawals. :-)

.....See you all at Crown!

.....Arontius.
