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!
