I greatly appreciate your war missives. Could we win a war point by killing
an opponent with a pair of crutches? Have fun and remember that I am VERY
ENVIOUS that you are there and I am here.

Loch Ruadh Rocks!
Beam me sideways, Scottie. These people don't know which way is up!

>With food and drink in our bellies, I thought it time for music and got my

>the night before, and sought their beds much earlier than is our custom.
>I did manage to draw Kat back out of her tent by singing some of her

>direction when I stopped her in her tracks by singing "Vergio". She came
>back to our small circle and stayed with us for several more songs. When
>the circle was finally down to just Fiona, Polydore and me, we too decide
>to retire (at the ridiculously early hour of just afte 11:00pm).

>The night was just cool enough to be excellent sleeping weather, and I
>think everyone enjoyed a restful night's sleep. Except for Vigolf, that
>is, who complained that his mattress was too thin, and that a mysterious
>whistling sound woke him aroudn 4:00am and kept him awake for half an
>hour.
>
>This morning is bright and pleasantly warm, and promises to be a beautiful
>day. We are getting the last details of camp set up and awaiting the
>arrival of those who had to leave later from Loch Ruadh. We wish that all
>of you were here with us, and we promise to bring back many tales, stories
>and pictures to share.

>I will attempt to update this missive every morning with a brief
>description of the previous day's events.
