[Loch-Ruadh] Gulf War Missive - Day Two

[Julie Self]

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
>guitar.  Many were tired from having slept but poorly in the line party
>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
>favorite songs.  She even got up to return to bed and stepped in that
>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.
