"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

No worries...in the meantime, think I'll start getting some riding in...I miss it.  I figure, if I get in real good with the stablefolk, maybe they'll let me ride in full kit.  A personal dream of mine, you could say.

Yep, just saw it last night. I did just tell you about it in my previous post. :D






In a "whoa, yes!" moment of discovery, my dad found my original recording of it while converting VHS tapes to DVD and called to ask me if I wanted it converted to DVD. I thought the audio and video were out of sync at a few points, but Mike was talking at some points where it was showing clips of the others training, and it is 1 hr 57 min lon, so the length is right and nothing seemed blatantly missing. It still has commercials, but if I get a chance I will edit them out and make copies to bring to MDRF for those who want one.

If you make it to MDRF on the 23rd (closing sunday) I will bring you a copy. Anyone else who wants a copy, shoot me a PM so I know how many DVDs to make. It was a good watch.

I have commitments for Sat (22nd) so I can only due Sun (23rd). I will be going "DoW style", in armor, but not medieval.

I'm hoping I can do both days. Things at work have not been happy the last few Sundays.

Well, I'm pretty sure I won't make Sunday as I'll have visiting family who will be leaving on Sunday- since they're leaving early afternoon I wouldn't be able to make it in time. 

Sir James, your knighting ceremony isn't scheduled for this weekend is it?

Sir Brian, would you mind terribly picking one up for me as well in the event I don't make the last day?

Sir William, my ceremony is tentatively scheduled the same day as Sir Nathan's. It was originally planned for last weekend, but despite best efforts my surcoat isn't done yet, I haven't received my spurs from RQP (which he said *should* be done, but didn't guarantee, so no worries), and I just, 15 minutes ago, got the dishing form and hammer I ordered to try to adjust my greaves to "finish" my knightly kit.

Sir Brian, I will bring a copy for you and Sir William, and one for Sir Edward as well - pending I get time to find some blank DVDs before departure (we are leaving fri morning and will not be home until after MDRF sunday).
