Thursday Morning Miscellaneous.

.....Greetings All,

.....Thursday's seem to be the best day for writing in LJ, before the work day starts. Things are usually on a roll from the early part of the week and the gear up to the weekend overtime fights start about mid-morning on Thursday, so first thing Thursday mornings always seem the most quiet. :-)

.....Ouch! Fight practice was good last night, but rather painful. I didn't think at the time that I had been hit very hard. But I was putting on a shirt this morning and there was a large bruised spot on my chest. And it was somewhat painful. :-) Noticed other bruises on my legs. I'm infinitesimally slow at the moment. The average 1940's Louisiana Tractor moves faster then I do at the moment. But it'll get better over time. I already felt a little better in armor last night then I did the previous Fight Practice. Still tired out pretty quickly, but that'll get better as well. Thoughts of Estrella War keep dancing in my head. Must remember to pre-reg. for Estrella. I didn't get any e-mail traffic, but someone mentioned that pre-registration was being accepted. Will have to go to the web-site and find out if that is indeed true.

.....Have had an interesting discussion with the new Avacal Principality Chronicler. Lady Umm Bishr. She is putting together her first issue of the Principality newsletter, 'The Avantegarde'. She is really nervous about it. But what she sent me looked really good for her first issue. I think that she has nothing to worry about and did my best to tell her so. Although in retrospect, if I had to step into Mistress Manyra's shoes as Principality Chronicler, I'd probably be a little nervous as well. Manyra was an excellent Chronicler. :-)

.....I've actually been pretty amazed with all my dealings with the Avacal contingent. I'm ashamed to admit it, but for many years I considered them to be on the fringes of An Tir, in attitude as well as geography. But as a group, from what I've seen, they really have their stuff together far more than they are given credit. Some wonderfully excellent people. Mistress Manyra is just one good example. I wish that I could get up there more often for events.

.....Thursday night means 'house clean up' night. :-) So it'll be busy tonight. Then Seattle tomorrow. Woo! Hoo! :-)
