Tonight I did the last of my preparation and packing for Pennsic. Pennsic is annual medieval ware between friends. After all where else do you get to beat on your enemies all day with a various weapon forms and then have a drink with them in the evening? As for me, this is the first Pennsic I have ever attended, but several other things, especially with horses are on my check list. This one is the big one with over 10,000 people in attendance. My plan is blog about the experience, either while there or when I get back. Anyway, this evening this is what I have done in the final stages of getting ready, in almost as hectic as this list seems to be:
I am always amazed to observe how pricing issues tend to work on occasion. I have observed more then a few here on the blog over the last couple of years (most notably those of hotels, airlines, and gas come to mind). I am finding some other interesting pricing structures that do not always makes sense seemingly everyday though actually a couple that I am going to share here actually do make sense for a change.
Having had more then a few realizations this month, just realized another one that has been going on a bit of late. It is one of those things that starts out very innocent and really not being very much of a time intrusion at all. Then before one realizes it you are, er, I mean, I am spending more and more time on the silly little things. If you are on any social network you to probably suffer through and maybe even contribute to the spread of them.
We all have those AHA moments on occasion and I am no exception. I seem to be having more then a few of them of late. Indulge me while I humor you with a few of them here. In no particular order, though I think I did start with some of the easier ones…
In particular I refer to Julius Caesar, the one for whom the month of July is named. As I am sure more then a few of you have noticed, my month of July has really sucked. This is the third year in a row that July has not been all that great and I starting to believe, as I look back at the pattern that July itself has it in for me. I have made some reference to this in the past to a few of you in some other mediums, but this month continues to drag along and with each passing day it brings along additional torments and tortures for me. Lending of course even more credence to the thought that July indeed will one of these days be the end of me.
