Late for Pennsic, again
It happens at least every other year. My plans for Pennsic are set. I visit the nieces and nephews in South Bend (Oh, and Mom, Brother, and Sister-in-Law, as well). Then there is a realestate emergency, delaying my departure. Two years ago it was a busted pipe in a rental unit I had a tenant moving into on the Sunday of Land Grab. Of course I found out the Friday of land grab. I arrived in time for Rhodri's opening Monday bardic, but just barely. This year, it is two units, that have been vacant for almost a month. The big one, which has had one tenant since I owned it, had been in bad shape when I bought the place in 2007, had deteriorated in the mean time. I had budgeted a month, and had a fyrdman on the payroll for a good part of the time, but there was so much to get done. I hope to leave Sunday by 3pm. Snailstichr and I still want to go to South Bend, as there is a niece she has never met, and another, looking forward to second grade, who wasn't yet talking when last they met. I am to bed soon to be going, and little will stop me.
