Looking ahead...

The next few weeks will be interesting. I think that's mostly a good thing.

My wife has four events lined up over the next four weekends. We start with Quest up in the East Kingdom. It's been a pleasant event the past couple of years, and the weather this year looks promising. Monday, I come home. Megan and Heather make tracks westward.

Their itinerary includes a stop in Minnesota to visit friends followed by a visit to our cloth supplier in Montana. Glacier National Park is next on the agenda, followed by a trek to the southeast portion of Oregon and the next event, War of the Trees in Coquille, Oregon (An Tir).

My daughter wants to see the Pacific Ocean (and perhaps dip part or all of her body therein). Medford, Oregon comes next, with a visit with a friend from college days. I believe that an expedition to Crater Lake is in the cards.

The next weekend is Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium the Heralds' Annual Convention up near Portland. I'll be flying out for that; we plan to also visit with some cousins in Portland around that.

On the Tuesday following, Megan is supposed to be in the vicinity of Idaho Falls for Uprising, which runs through the weekend. A couple of days in Yellowstone follow, thence Glendive, Montana for another visit. This time, the van gets stuffed to the rafters with fabric and stuff for Pennsic. Wood-n-Woven will be coming to Pennsic and setting up shop in our booth.

I believe that the Badlands are next, followed by a slog home. The dog is probably going to be rather Put Out by all this. I think he is going to be getting a lot of quality time in the back yard during the days.

Meanwhile, I have the Strawberry Festival at Adelphi Meeting and Storvik's Novice Tourney to fill in the off weekends for me. Whee!
