You be good. . .make your momma proud

May I just say that The Adventures of Briso County Jr. has the Best (TV) Villains Ever? Yes, I have low taste in villains, but even so.

We woke up early-ish this morning and decided to go down to Belfast to find what the sea might bring us. As it happened, the sea brought us the strong smell of brine on the back of a brisk breeze. It was very pleasant on the Memorial Walking Bridge, and down at the public dock. One block up the hill toward town and it was too hotandhumid to be pleasurable. We walked the bridge, noodled around the dock and stared at the passenger liner. Achieving a sort-of picnic of chicken salad-stuffed lady fingers (are lady finger sandwiches in vogue in anyplace but Maine?), with limeade for Steve and lemonade for me, we went back to sit at the foot of the walking bridge and partook.

After lunch, in an heroic display of Grown-Upness, we came home. There is bookkeeping spread all over my desk,though I think I see the light at the end of this particular tunnel. Next week this time, there will be just as much to do, all over again. Which is, after all, What We Love about bookkeeping.

I hear that tomorrow's a work day. What's up with that, exactly?


Oops! Almost forgot!

SCA = Society for Creative Anachronism

I've always felt that SCA should stand for the Society for Creating Anachronism, ie: the Time Traveler's Guild...

There is also a story that at one point the FBI got interested because it was reported as the Society for Creative Anarchy. The story goes that two agents got memberships -- and at the end of the year one of them tried to get the FBI to renew his membership! I don't know how true it is, but it makes a good story...

(Another one -- which I'm told is not actually true but should have been. When the Barony of the Far Isles in England, part of the SCA, broke off and became independent, it was told that some of the leaders went up to Boston (the original, in Lincolnshire, England) and threw tea-bags into the duckpond...)

(Apologies for any typos -- MS say about their update software "you can carry on working while the updates are download". Like frod: the thing keeps grabbing the focus away from the application in which I am typing...)

So, does anybody else see the resemblance between Keristor's picture and Craig Trader, or have I just had one too many cups of coffee? Hmm. Back to bed.

Who's Craig Trader? My picture is of me; several years ago, admittedly, but apart from gaining a bit more grey it's still pretty accurate as Our Authors can testify (although I don't think they saw me with a guitar unless they snuck into the filking when I didn't notice)...

(BTW, ref. your bio, I understand crochet; it's knitting I don't understand and only semi-believe possible. Mind you, I don't believe that sewing machines and plain-paper photocopiers are actually possible at all without magic...)

Craig Trader is the guy whose icon appears above yours at the top of the comments; it's a picture of him a la Southpark and it has a slight resemblance to you along these lines - male, bearded, glasses, brown(ish) hair.

Knitting is alchemy, definitely. Turning one long length of yarn into a three dimensional fitted object is an art form, imho.

The one place I didn't think to look, of course! I blame the ridiculously early time, or Monday morning, or lack of sleep, or getting old, or something like that...

I tell people that I'm easy to recognise: beard, glasses, wear black. I'm sure that makes me unique in fandom *g*. (Well, approximately 50% of fans don't have a beard anyway -- in fact one of Our Authors doesn't have a beard, but I'm not going to 'out' them by saying which one *g*...)
