Pennsic was a mixed bag, but by and large it was Big Fun and the stress relief I sorely needed.
I took a new squire, a very good man who will teach me much. He might even learn a thing or two from me. I look forward to this journey.
I fought more than I have in a while. Her Majesty Ealdormere graced me with a series of passes with katana and I fared better than I ever have. I fought the open field, I fought *all* the bridges. And I got to make things go boom with Master Roderic on the gun line.
My Lady-wife had a harder time of it physically because of the challenges she faces from her chronic troubles. But all-in-all, I think she had a good time.
Now is the "re-insertion" phase, which; oddly enough, is a bit tougher this year. I don't know if it's age creeping up on me, or just where I am in my life and its challenges right now.
Honored Son start college in a *very* short amount of time.
Oy.
There's more I could drone on about, but for now this wills suffice as a place holder for future thoughts.
Oyasuminasai.
