Looks like everyone (mostly everyone) is starting the big journey to Pennsic. I haven't been in several years now, but at times (like these) I really do miss it. No, I don't enjoy baking in the sun for a week and sweating like a pig. I don't enjoy being out in a canvas tent during a massive monsoon either. I *do* miss that feeling of otherworldliness and the magic. I miss that particular smell of campfires and tiki torches that permeates everything. I miss hanging out with my buds and laughing, laughing, laughing. I miss the stories that are generated each year and miss being a part of them (well, maybe not all of them) I hope everyone who *is* going has a fantastic and safe trip. Stay hydrated! It's too hot and hangovers completely blow when it's this hot. You should listen to me, I have plenty of experience in this dept.

My weekend is looking pretty good at the moment. Going shopping all day tomorrow for DragonCon stuff. I need something to wear and times a'wastin! It should be a lot of fun. Sunday is free of pipe band practice, so I have time that is mine, mine, mine.

Can't wait.
