Empty House Party on Friday.  The movers are coming on Thursday and Friday to take all of our stuff so we are planning a going away empty house party as we depart to NJ.  Please start showing as early as 6 or 7.  Bring chairs if you need them and we will have some booze, however it is BYOB as well.  ;)

We watched "Gone with the Wind" for the first time the other night.  Well it was the first time for me.  Of course Elena has both read the book and seen the movie many times.

There are many life lessons in the movie and I will be commenting on them.

However the movie has caused me to expect things now and they just ain't happening!!!

We live in the South.

When we walk to baby I am not seeing any of the Older Southern Society Women saying.

"Well Good Afternoon LTC Dionisio and Mrs Dionisio, how is little Sasha doing."

So that I can nod, smile, tip my hat and give some pleasant greeting back.  

Perhaps I need to wear a hat to tip.

How am I going to introduce our child into polite Southern Society without these women!!!

It is very vexing to me.

Who I think is a fan of Joss Whedon.  ;-)

For those who might be interested, we have a strong possibility that
the much-renowned Count Thorbrandr Olaffson (aka T-Bone) -- formerly
of the Northern Army of Atlantia -- will be attending the Thursday
Ponte Also practice (information below).

He is particularly known for his alternative weapons forms (e.g., two-
sword), and should he be in attendance will undoubtedly be a great
source of training and knowledge.

Along with Sir Thorbrandr's attendance and normal fighting, we will be
continuing with the new round of Scholum classes begun last week.

Please forward as appropriate.

In service,

Max Von Halstern

we will know on Monday the 17th!!!!

Greetings to the Fighters and Supports of the Atlantian Northern Army. 
 
We had a successful Pennsic, however we would like the next year to be even better and to build on what we have now. We are looking for comments on Musters, Logistics, Leadership, Recruitment and/or Training. However we are not limited to that, they are just a few topics off the top of my head before I leave work for the day. 
 
Please put the word out. We are also trying to pull in those folks who might have taken a break from fighting or are "old timers" and have not played in a while. We want to be as inclusive as possible. 
 
Duke Badouin, the Commander of the Northern Army would like to hear form you and what you like/dislike so far as well as any comments you might have. 
 
We have a yahoo group we use for put out info for Musters and Practices and just general information. 
 
If you not on it, please join. 
 
We promise to listen to, read and digest what you write. That doesn't mean that we will act on it but we will listen and discuss. 
 
The site is.

ps. This is also a reminder about the 10 Man Tourney next weekend at Coronation. Ponte Alto is putting together two teams. I believe they are looking for a couple folks from the North to fill slots. Baron Max is organizing the effort. If you are a fighter from the area and are looking for a team let us know.
