It's that time of the year. . . actually it's a bit early. . .the missing of my MDRF friends usually doesn't start until the doldrums of February. . .but it's hit a bit early.
It might be the fact that I went out to L.A. and found groups of pyrates who would fit in so well with our MDRF brethren. Good folks who love to not only dress the part, but aren't shy in getting an entire restaurant or bar in on the play.
I wish I'd had my best friends Greg (Scottsman) and Kevin (Amras) at my sides and a warm arm of Loma (Lady Guiness) around me. . . she is SUCH the hottie. . .her smile can bring the sun out from clouds m'thinks. And the faire Genevieve (uh. . .Genevieve). . . I can't think of the lass without bringing "lil' long john" to attention.
OK. . . bad image. . . TMI
I miss my MDRF folk. I miss those people whose mugs are made of wood, steel, pewter, leather, and clay . . . and I really miss the sound they make when we toast someone we love who's not in our midst.
In that I raise my full Medieval Times ceramic tankard (with gold trim) full of a new drink I've created that I call "The Black Fox". . . in salute to everyone. . .because I'm alone here at the computer. . . huzzah m'friends. . . a mighty huzzah to all.

Can we hear a collective "Awwwww" and what do I see? Is that a tear in the eye of everyone here, even those of the most cynical nature? Yep, sure is! Hang on, BF, my friend, Spring is just around the corner and just around the corner from that is Summer...and before you know it, you'll be dressed in your finery, sipping on a (hmmm, what was the name of that? Oh yes!!) a White Snake, and snorting black crud from your nostrils at the end of the day! haha!! Until then, you'll have to give me your recipe for a Black Fox...it better be really good to upstage my new favorite, Dark 'n' Stormies (ginger beer and Gosling's Black Seal rum)...we had our first real snowfall of the season this past weekend (probably the first and only of the whole year, actually)...and we're focusing on getting the house back to normal since the holidays, our trip to Key West, and just trying to enjoy life in the midst of a trying financial situation thanks to the housing slump and impending recession. Our trips to MDRF may be sporadic and non-frequent this season, so we will make each weekend at MDRF count, fer shur! Glad you were able to venture to LA and hey, you've still got Pyrate Con coming up, no? Enjoy those things...they give you things to look forward to...thanks for remembering your ol' friends here. Much love... Tigerlily (who knows this is a rambly kinda post...but wanted to respond to you in some form...)
