Vacation
I'm writing from the shores of Lake Ontario where we are visiting the parents of my lovely wife. We drove 17 hours straight to get here - thats not to bad with two drivers. I hope the weather will hold and tomorrow we can make it to the Sterling Ren Fair. We try and visit her parents once a year, and always go to the fair when we are here. It is an ( Read more... ) -

I got a new IPod Touch for free with my new

PSG
Oh Wow, I got home from PSG last night at 230 am. We drove almost 12 hours from Camp Zoe in the Ozarks of Missouri It all seems a blur. I met sooooo many incredible people this week. I played/sang/chanted and/or sat around and traded words with Damh the Bard, T Thorn Coyle, Shibaten, Coyote run, Jason Pitzl-Waters and Murphey's Midnight Rounders ( Read more... ) -
Chorus of a new song
Arise, Arise, and take to the air,
All lads and lasses strong.
Adventure sings-Your country calls
Sign up and come along.
The airship fleet ensures the peace
from here to the farthest shore.
Duty awaits, so join the cause.

Drilling to Energy indipendence
I heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio today. He said that drilling our way to energy independence is the only logical and sensible thing to do. In fact, Mr. Limbaugh, it is both illogical and senseless for several reasons, which I will go into a wee bit later. Once again your sense of what is "reason" eludes me.

I had conversations ranging from health care to the merits of Gorilla glue- from whether Verne was steampunk, to electric motors and gear ratios. We heard great music ( Read more... ) -
Lost in Time
Well I am all packed and ready for Anachrocon. I added a copper lobster tail to my helmet this morning. I think it looks really cool. I also beefed up the tube that carries the "theronal blast pulse," from the backpack to the gun. I hope to have lots of pics from the weekend and Ill post em soon. The band has two new Steampunk songs that are almost ( Read more... ) -

It is the little things
I have been writing my profvonzott blog for over six weeks now. It is really hard to believe it has been that long. I am still really enjoying it and the exercise of writing within the character limitations of Facebook. I have a problem coming up that needed a solution. The answer came to me in a sudden flash of scene, and it actually solved two problems at ( Read more... ) -
Spring
Early this morning I helped a friend mark the point at which the sun rises over the hill on this day of equinox. We marked the edges of the sun's disc with staves of wood. Later this year, they will become tall stones. We stood and watched the final chill of winter faded into shadows by the golden sun of Spring.
