Glad to hear you had a good time!  It sounds like quite an ideal summer vacation.

I've already received a couple of pm's from members wondering what happened to Susie (Susiebell). There's no need to worry. Susie is just fine and she HAS NOT decided to leave BetterMost. She's on vacation with her family in the south of England for two weeks. She left on July 28, and I think she will be back with us again around August 10.

She told me she will probably be suffering from BetterMost withdrawls while she's there, but she hopes the fish and chips, and lots of cream tea will help soothe those symptoms until she returns home.  :D

So don't nobody worry about Susie okay? I just hope the weather is cooperating with her down there!

I'm about to be away again for a while myself.

This Friday, Aug. 3, I leave for my annual week in the pretend Middle Ages at the Pennsic War medieval reenactment/re-creation event in western Pennsylvania. Though I think there is a cyber cafe set up on site (go figure--medieval reenactors can't function without cell phones and the Internet  ::)  ;D ), I will be out of cyber contact until some time after I return home on Sunday, Aug. 12.

What is this Middle Ages deal all about Jeff? Is this something you will be watching or participating in?

And this also means we won't see or hear from you for NINE DAYS???  :'(

Well, I hope you have a lot of fun over there, but we sure will miss you while you are gone!

That's right. I expect to be leading a blessedly computer free existence from August 3 to August 12.  ;D

These web sites should explain what it's all about:

The sponsoring organization, the Society for Creative Anachronism:

The event itself, the Pennsic War:

Have fun!
