I'm seriously contemplating bringing a grill and some chairs for Celtic Weekend/7 Nations Weekend/Kilt Check Weekend. Might as well have a nice meal while I watch the tail lights diminish into the evening dust.

Hey, we made the Post's critique for "Eragon" today,...the critic says that "...everyone else looks as if they were recruited at the renaissance faire in Anne Arundel County..." And, at first, you think he's being condesending...until you read farther and he says "...alas...even the good-spirited Anne Arundelian Renaissance Festival Staff all revolve around a rather dim young man named Ed Speelers..." Guess he thinks a big problem with this movie is the male lead...
Just shows that our faire exists, strongly, in the local media psyche...

I took my two youngest to see "Eragon" last night. Today they went with big sister and some friends. And, yes, they all agree that the extras seem to be populated by Faire folk. But alas! The movie could have been better if it were actually populated by Faire folk. Why do I never hear about those cast calls?
BTW, I'm ready for TailGate 2007. Maybe we'll do a couple of practice runs in February to see if we can actually get the clan moving and in place by opening cannon.

I'm definitely up for the Tailgate 2007! I saw the movie and if you haven't read the book its a good complete movie, if you have read the book, its only about 1/2 the book and they changed a few details. I have to agree that if they extras were from ren faire the costume department would have saved a bunch!

Hi there...remember me? Life has been insane here in little ol' ES of Virginia...but good. Work abounds and I've been devoting most of my waking hours to it, but we're thankful! Sorry to have been incommunicado, folks... We're counting down the days 'til faire...and just think, just a few short months ago and I was too shy to introduce myself to folks or go to a tailgate or meet/greet with y'all...however, we're gonna be there this year for tailgate 2007! Hope everyone had a good holiday season and Happy New Year to ALL!!!

The search is now officially on for a new squirrel-mobile...needed a bigger tailgate, anyway.

There's so much salt coming up off the road right now that the old squirrel mobile looks like part of the rim of a giant margarita glass...

So, the main thing I learned on "St. Valen-Ice-Storm-Tine's" day, after Lady Elfwine and I shoveled off the ice and snow from our 1100 square foot drive way, is that several large glasses of chianti make an EXCELLENT chaser for Extra Strength Excedrin! 189 days...

Not for a few days, it seems...I'm a pretty big guy, and I went walking across my back yard this afternoon, and didn't even leave a mark in the ice...I could have skated...

Yeah, the grounds around my condo development have been like that since it fell ~ perfect for a hockey rink... the first day I fell, not too bad, but from trying to keep myself from falling when slipping and all the f'n shoveling has left my back a wonderful knotted mess.
I will PRAISE GOD when this stuff is gone by the end of the week... Who would've thought we'd be ecstatic about being in the 40's!?!
