(Updated from a previous post.) I'm still working on the reflections post(s); it's been rough sledding in a number of spots. In the meantime, life has marched on, and stuff has indeed happened. Among them are new LJ-friends... welcome to

weebaby,

hersir, and

sigkit!

Thursday before last was

bronx_baroness's birthday, and there was a dinner gathering to celebrate, at which could be found the Birthday Baroness herself (I couldn't resist the alliteration),

fuzzface00,

killernurd,

montuos, moi,

ext_42142, Carrie,

visgoth, and

stealthcomic. Then on Saturday the 19th,

fuzzface00,

jacylrin,

killernurd,

montuos, and I gathered with a couple dozen others in Manassas for Fast Eddie Silverman's "Graduation Party" (Ed's term), marking his graduation from this life.

Monday the 21st I went to Alle Psallite rehearsal first, at which this banter was heard, which was later metaquoted; from there I went to Ludus.

ext_42142 has started a blog for Ludus, which

montuos has already pointed out *and* syndicated (

ludus_gaming). I won the first two games played after I got there, mostly via other players making the plays *I* needed to win. Sic transit gloria Chrononauts, I guess.

Wednesday night I took three cases of empty beer bottles over to Bowie, with help from

nostasia, so that she and

cariola and

herveus and the rest of the gang could clean and sterilize them and fill them with fresh brew. Some heraldry also happened, worked on by

pedropadrao,

blaisedec, myself, and

sigkit. I've been working on the English translation of Racine's French translation of the Latin hymn text for the Fauré Cantique; any luck finding the original,

jastaelf?

The long Memorial Day weekend was taken up with a visit to Pennsylvania. We got something of a late start heading up, and there seemed to be some lingering exhaustion the whole weekend. Other stuff happened, such that I didn't get to see everyone I'd have liked to, but that's the way it goes sometimes.
