[Bordermarch] Important News!

[Lathrop, Dave]

Hi-Di-Ho-Mon-Fro Bordermarch,

At armory last night I had the pleasure of visiting with some old friends who I'd not seen for quite some time. We talked and laughed for what must have been 8 minutes and then we ran out of things to say to each other.
Lord Beau kept grinding on the shield he was constructing, all the while playing with a pool noodle, and M'Lord James was feverishly cleaning the rust from his armor in preparation for battle.
I'll shall cherish those memories forever!

We are planning on utilizing not this Saturday, but the following Saturday, the 14th, to get up to site and do some preliminary pre-event stuff.
We haven't yet a clue as to what we're going to do, but everyone is welcome to join us as we struggle with indecision.

We will most definitely end the day at the Texas Star for a nice big Chicken Fried Steak dinner, and for those of you who previously scolded me for not taking care of business, I have confirmation that the Texas Star will indeed have some of that imported spicy French Pabulum on hand for Sir Simonn's dietary needs.

It would be wonderful to have Lord Slovaczek with us. The etymology of his name leads me to believe he is of Chinese/Swedish decent; our newest Heraldic Lady person, Lady Jillian, is verifying this for me. The cheese in his lineage must be what compels bees to buzz around his head. Like I said, it would be great to have him join the group on the 14th if nothing more than to us to keep the bees away from us.

We really need Lord Phocas with us to organize something while we're at site.

If Lord Nikolai shows up he could practice climbing the ladder to fix the torches to the gate entrance. Perhaps his Don could offer Lord Nikolai a bit of tutelage concerning "The Care and Maintenance of Bordermarch's Torches".
Lord Zane climbed the ladder last year but his recovery is taking longer than we thought it would.

Since the Kosha-don fruit on the trees that Lord Aaron Whitewolf planted at site last year will be ready for harvest on the 14th, perhaps we could get some of our gentler ladies in the group to come out and gather some fruit for the noon-day festivities at site. We would prefer to have Lord Chrestien Brule handle the Kosha-don fruit, but his callused hands would surely bruise it's fine textured peel.

One thing we will do for sure is stand in front of the castle and look at it.

An A&S day this weekend and then a Site day the following weekend! WOW! I'm really getting Excited-ed-ed-ed-!

Paddy--- did you send that stuff into the chronicler yet?

Since I will NOT! be going to Pennsic this year, send a shout-out to Mr. Compassionate, 'Lord Adolf the Bear', should you need some counseling.

HE Santiago
