My thanks again to all for the warm welcomes.

Indeed, Sir Wolf, it's amazing just how small our modern world is becoming.

We're now back in NoVA and getting re-settled into our house.  Had a lot of fun with the family at Drachenfest en route.

I would very much like to meet as many as possible in person at the MDRF.  My harness and other gear are also still on their way separately, hopefully will have enough in hand to support a representative appearance :)

Helo again, all.  I apologize for my long silence.  The move back home, as it always does took a toll which has long kept me occupied (not to mention poorer) but we're more or less resettled now in Fairfax, VA.  Mostly that is - most of our stuff and our car are still on their way here from Europe, almost 3 mos. after our departure.  *sigh*

Most importantly, perhaps, my harness DID make it back via DHL from Germany - although there was some serious rust collected on a few pieces - had no time as we had to break camp and then drive 8 hrs back to the Czech Rep and the very next day from there to Slovenia to fly out - when hurriedly packing it to meticulously clean & oil all as I should have.  I've spent time cleaning & now have waxed everything to preserve it but am not wholly satisfied with my work or how to remove some of the scarring left behind.

My new position in D.C. is as much a bear as I've expected (usually 7:30 - 8 or 9 every day, not incl commute) - which is why it's just one year - but has left little time for hobbies and none for LARP or longsword training :(

Hope to make it to MDRF this coming wknd (10/6) or the next - are folks in the area still meeting up there or elsewhere (PARF?) in the near future?

Looking forward to re-engaging with the fellowship here as I may.  Huzzah!

A few pics from July's Drachenfest near Hannover, Germany to illustrate to adventure.

Don't feel bad about long absences.  We understand that life gets the better of us sometimes!  The doors are always open at our little Inn no matter how long you're gone.  Those are some great photos by the way!  You're harness is really sharp!

Hey great! Glad things are getting settled in the new place to some degree. Yes, I should be there at MDRF this coming weekend. I don't know if I'll be in harness or not, it depends a lot on the weather.

I did not see the details in your harness up close before. VERY NICE!!! Love the brass adornments.

Agreed, very nice harness! I hope to me at MDRF the following weekend (not this coming), which would be closing weekend. Sunday is the day to make, if you can.
