I am definitely being timely here. I think I am even late given the norms of SCA lateness with this post and a series that follow along shortly. So anyway, I finally attended my first Pennsic War earlier this year. I believe, if I recall correctly, I went up on the last day of July. Due to work schedule and stuff I was only on site about five days. While it was not my first war (and truthfully, Gulf Wars will always be special) it was indeed an awesome experience.

A few weeks ago NPR did a segment on the weekend morning edition called American Jouster. Strangely, I did not catch it myself, but my wonderful housemate shared the information with me. I think the piece was nicely done, but a I wish that NPR had pursued a few more people to speak to about various aspects of things.

First is the complaint about the lack of history on the history channel these days. Granted Modern Marvels is indeed sometimes historical, but generally not so much, as most often it focuses on the today of the situation. But the show where they moving big things, most often buildings really just does not belong at all in a historical context.

This is outline of a class I have started doing at SCA events to introduce those that are interested to the many varied things we do in the SCA with the equestrian activities. 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.

It is the month of November and I have not posted here, well since sometime back in May or June I am sure. At one point I was thinking about just turning it off and at another I was thinking again that maybe a WordPress platform was the wrong thing to use. I got bogged down with work and in between I was too busy with medieval hobbies, playing with horses, chasing skirts, or just plan old lazy. It all changes today as NaBloPoMo starts.
