It's Sunday morning and I'm helping with the chores, when my seven year old daughter asks if she can help. I think that's very cool to myself and say "Sure".

My office is on the top floor of a high rise in Wilmington, DE. Today I just noticed for the first time, that there is a pair of falcons who have  built a nest on the top of the building across the street from my window. It is so cool watching them dive and circle the area. There are even people who are standing on nearby roof tops taking photos.

Could some one smarter than me let me know why a 21 gun salute is an insulted to the Queen of England. If you don't really know, then I would ( Read more... )

Well, its been 26 years in the SCA and we finally have decided to but a real pavillion.  We are looking at a 12 x 18 white canvas rectangle design. Anyone out there have any good ideas before we take the plundge?

I had to fly out of the Philadelphia Airport this week on business. While waiting on the plane, the baggage handler walk on, picks up the hand set and proceeds to yell at everyone sitting on the plane. She had a tantrum about how so many people did not have those little yellow tags on their bags. She then yells that anyone with carry on who doesn't ( Read more... )

Hi everyone:

It's me Baron Larry. I'm kind of new to the whole live journal thing, so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
