Grazie, il mio signore.

If thou shalt require council on thy endeavor do not hesitate to send for my word. Would be my pleasure to impart that which my trials have hence made discovery with. Buona fortuna!

Aye, I've but made mu'y way back from t'e battlements, and fuainally 'ave a warm boday t'keep me coompanay.

'Tis good t'be back!

Although I have not lost any love for yourself, Guid Sir, I at best hope that Mr. Obama does nothing of substance while in office, rather than attempting radical changes that lean toward more social re-engineering by the Democrats. From my own experiences, the world is a darker and more dangerous place than most people who reside in the US or parts of Northern Europe care to admit. There are those of us who have become Rangers to the Shire, watching the shadows while the rest dance around the fire. And while I truly love and respect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all current Amendments, I do not believe they mean more than the actual meaning of the actual words. They do not extend to anyone not a legal citizen of the Unite States of America. Rome failed in part because they relied on mercenary tribes to protect their borders. And the tribes kept taking more than they were promised until a greatly weakened Rome was not able to protect itself. I hope that the pendulum swings back the other way sooner rather than later in our State and National politics. I prefer a more centered approach to our Republic. It comes with less taxes and more personal responsibility, and therefore a great appreciation for what we have and less of a "welfare/big brother mentality". I do not like the idea of becoming an impoverished northern European type country.

Just a missive to send warm wishes to thee and thine

Well said Sir Mikel!
I find that in the long run honesty is a better servant than deceit for one can not keep up with all the turns in the path when deception is used to cloak ones true nature or goal.

Dear Sir Mikel, Thou beist ever striking in your garb as well as in your words. Yea, Hope is evident amongst the masses once again. As for myself, there is a distant shore that calls to me, and for those that remain, may they once again trust in Providence and self reliance to see them thru whatever the days ahead shall bring. Wishing you the best.

yes i have arrived home my friend and i find it much to my likeing

That was all part of our discussion. I highly doubt such things will happen again. If I had been there with them laughing and enjoying the day I don't think I would have thought much of it. To hell with it, I probably would have felt the fake boob as well, the pretense was that Brandon had never knowingly felt a cillicon insert, and because it was in her corset with her there would have been know way to remove it so he could see.

But in the end it was the principle of the thing that got to me and really irked me in a way most unpleasant.

Everything is fine now though.. I feel so much better about... everything. Its quite nice to have doubt pushed from my mind and off into some distant land. :)

Thank you for your kind words though. I really appriciate the support!

Perhaps more than one ale, my friend!

Well Sir Mikel I have it on good intelligence that thy homeland is not besot with weather as unfair as you have made it seem but in no doubt trust that the ice and tempest do trail closely. We here in the southern latitudes have yet to feel any gnawing from winters angry countenance. My kinsman Sir Randolf and I are making plans to travel even further southward to attend TRF and make anew our acquaintances and reunion with dear friends over the long Thanksgiving weekend. It should prove to be a ruckus time of merriment and down right decadence. We, of course, will endeavor to conduct ourselves with the utmost honor and taste until the first drink of loki at which point all bets are off and it will be a frolic in riotous diversion. It is an interesting contemplation to compare the dissimilarity between faire of Shrewsbury’s facet and what the faire at TRF offers due to magnitude and resource. I am sure there will be many pictures to document the events and perchance even some that might escape ones censure to appear in gallery! Fair well!
