A rare political post...

For those who don't want to get involved, pass this post on by.

For those who think I don't ever act politically, read on.

( Dear Ms. Kern... )

Yes, I did send it. And yes, I did not tell the whole truth about who I am; why should I? I think it might have more impact this way; not that I expect to make any difference at all.

But I'm not the only one who is complaining to her...not by a long shot.

Something happier...

I'm just re-looking through the FiveRings pictures taken last year; thinking maybe I could find some good close-up details for ladybarnard to use in the banner on the new (and LOVELY) White Hart web-site.

I'm smiling looking at the pictures of first weekend. Sometimes there's a particular kid who just pulls the heartstrings. This one young man is one. SO very serious about chivalry and SO intent on being a knight and believes in each fiber of his heart and soul. A cute pre-teen dressed in a shirt, hand-wrapped kilt and skinny drape and reboks; adorable. He had a blast first weekend and came back again third weekend, if I remember correctly. His mundanely-dressed mother stood at the back, just beaming that we were appreciating her son exactly as he is in this moment of time.

Distilled down to the very essence, THIS is why I do this...
