A week of lounging around a pool and shuffling the kids off on their uncles and grandparents (hopefully!) - Should be GREAT! I wonder if there will be internet access where we are going... We will of course have our computers for movies and such, but internet would be nice!! :D
So I read
a newspaper article (online of course) about the
"Society for Creative Anachronism" (SCA) and discovered that I currently live in the
Kingdom of Artemisia! Wow. You can find out which "Shire" you are in on
this map - I'm pretty sure I live in the barony of or shire of
Gryphon's Lair", but we MIGHT be in Loch Salaan.... Not sure exactly.
It's pretty amazing how complex and large this organization is! It's been around for over 40 years now, and I've barely heard of it. Crazy stuff.
Right now the Kingdom of Artemisia is having a gathering up at Fort Buenaventura - too bad we are busily preparing for the reunion!
Like I told Kakes yesterday, this would be fun if we weren't tied more to the modern world... not enough time or money to pursue silliness like this! Looks pretty fun though!
I'm tired. Work is draining.
