Monday evening: Stuff and things . . .

1. Welcome to brithistorian, as Minneapolis continues to infest, invade, grace my friends' list with its presence.

2. Silverwing's Law No. 32 is:

Beneath the calm, professional exterior of the SCA, lurk all the subtle, interpersonal dynamics of a nursery school at recess.

I have reminded myself of that regarding three or four situations over the last couple of days. I am trying hard to avoid adding to the tantrums. ;)

It's a game. It's a game. It's a game.

3. My love is making macaroni and cheese. I am a happy man. I am even happier. I am eating it! Wow!

4. The Stone Brewing Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout was not *nearly* as amazing as it sounded.

5. I am an unabashed W.E.B. Griffin fan. I love all his series, especially "Brotherhood of War" and "The Corps." Yeah, it's popcorn, but delicious popcorn.

I am not as big on the "Honor Bound" series, but the latest book in it, "Death and Honor," was tremendous. I really enjoyed it. It will read alone if you want to try it.

I think I have read all 31 in the six series he has done. If I am not at 31, I am darned close.

6. Last call for recommendations for peerages and polling orders is tomorrow!
