Unfortunate Scheduling Conflict and Other Scheduling Matters

Thjora pointed out last night that a wedding we're invited to and really want to attend takes place on... October 11th.

No War of the Wings for us this year.

Instead, let me draw your attention to Journey to the Crusades, local to us on Sept. 20th, and Lochmere Baronial Birthday on September 27th. Alas, this latter event supplants Masters of Defense, where I would otherwise be attempting to add a Fourpeat to my Threepeat of winning that tournament.

In related news, I bought a Darkwood cruciform cut and thrust sword at Pennsic and have been having fun working the pell a bit with it, mostly related to coaching Kit as she develops her cut work with her new backsword.
