Gentle Readers,

Today was mostly one of those days. One of the ones where all of the little things just don't go quite acording to pland and usually that failure is due to some piece of planning that I forgot. Like that many places won't sell you a bus pass with a credit card or that the first day of the month and also the first day after a long weekend is a terrible time to go to the bank.

There were some lovely high notes like good emails, the humidity and rain keeping the ragweed pollen down, and finally replacing my terrible phone. My daughter saying of her first day that "Grade 4 is AWESOME!" was also pretty good and so was her getting through 2 rounds of martial arts and a harp lesson with a fantastic mood.

I can say with certainty that I do wish I will still sitting in that field in the chill air that reminds you that winter is coming watching the sun come up over the trees and burn off the mist. There were just so many interesting discussions that happened. Hearing Finvar explain how he passed on both the start of the east kingdom and the mid was and finally joined because of a costume party was pretty nifty.

I've also been thinking a lot about what my next streach goal will be now that I've done the Dean's Prize. I really think that what I want to do is some kind of armoured deed. I have a good idea about how I would like it to work too. I figure if I'm all armoured up, I'm probably legal to fight with both Rattan and Cut and thrus. I just need to talk to the appropriate marshals to see how that could be done.

OK. My eyes are informing me that they have too much pollen in them to contine.

Good night.
