I have this thing about lists, it gets me organized and a bit focused about accomplishing things on them in general. I have not had one concerning this kind of stuff and it shows. So, I decided to put one together. There are three major points looking forward that have things I need to get done during and/or for. So I am trying to break it down that way and I plan to come back and do check marks or color coding or something when I get things done and make some additional notes of it. May even do a few blogs of somethings with photos as progress occurs. Do keep in mind it is my list, for my feeble mind so some of these are like well duh – go do it and it would be done, but sometimes I just got to do things my way. Anyway, this is the current list I am working from for Gulf Wars – though I will likely increase it as it time goes along for the next few weeks and I think of other things.

Obviously it is just an outline and I talk as we go over it expanding out the subjects and I kind of let it go the direction the class is interested. Additionally it is accompanied by several photos in a slide show format and a short video of some activities as well. If you would like more information or details do not hesitate to ask.

Times being what they way the site was made impractical so we moved to a large city park. The event was awesome on a number of fronts, but let me please inquire as to who is order the weather? Two weeks ago it was windy and getting hot, this past Saturday it was even more windy and darn near to cold.

The Midrealm kicked off the equestrian campaign season this past Saturday (25th of April 2009) with an event in North East modern day Ohio. The event was held in the Barony of Brendoken. I believe that that I can speak for all in saying that a good day of SCA equestrian activities was had by all.
