Yeah, it's probably a good time to satay busy and keep your mind off of things.

I know for me, September and October are some of the busiest months of the year. Between the renfaire, Halloween prep (this year I may not get to any of that), usually some sort of other event (such as DoK or WMAW), and this time around I'm in a college course too. And for some reason this also seems to be a reliable time of year for a new computer game to come out that I'll get hooked on. All on top of my job.

I'm trying to keep as busy as I can, but it's still hard. I know it's a wound that will never really heal, but I am trying to move on. It's more difficult as I have no friends to do things with or family.

Thank you for your concern.

Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I'm kinda down, it's the anniversary of my wife's death. Plus I haven't had any feedback from the members. But once I see my cardiologist in Ocrober, I hope to post more knights.

Sir John

That's a pain I have no real experience with...but I can imagine how devastating it must be, no matter how long ago it might have occurred.  You are in my prayers and thoughts, Sir John...even if you see nothing posted from me, know that.

Sur William,

Thank you for your kind words. It helps knowing that I'm not really all alone.

Sir John,

You are, as always, welcome to read and post in the other threads here on the forum too. It's not the same as sitting around and talking, but it's the closest many of us get for most of the year.

Absolutely Sir John. Always share your thoughts as those of us here do as we are all listening. Never feel afraid to offer conversation beyond "Knight of the Week" as we all have other things to say at times. Share your thoughts & I hope it eases things for you.

In fact, if you're concerned about having personal discussions in a public form, the Order's section of the board is more private and is not publicly accessible.

Sir Edward,

I am not aware of the personal message board. How do I access that? I don't like putting my deep personal feeings where anyone can see. I had a personal message from Sir William, and filled him in on what I'm going through. I'm sure he can share it with the members on the personal message board where only we can see it.  Thanks again.

The section called "Order Discussions" is non-public.

Sir William,

Thankfully things went well at the doctors. He told me I won't need surgery until late summer or early Ocober of next year, which frees up my spring for the knighting, if you still can do it then.

your humble servant,

Sir John

Thank you all for your kind words.

Please keep me advised on when you can have my knighting. Early April is good...I need cooler weather as I don't have central a/c. As soon as you know, let me know so I can get things ready...also who will be attending. I can accomodate 3 easily, 5 but will be crowded.

It will have to be on a Saturday, and start in the morning, as I will be using a medieval knighting ceremony (I have it all typed for each who comes)

This Saturday, I will continue with the Knight of the week now that things have settled down.

Sir John

PS: It will be something positive to look forward to, and it will help keep my mind off the surgery.
