Good Morrow, All. Just wondering about the state of moribundus in these precincts, and hoping that this brief missive finds all and several in the best of...

Hello, AEdward and AElflaed from snowy AEthelmearc, where it is pleasantly cool today. The light snow last night looks lovely in the morning sun, and the cold...
Good Master William, All is relatively "will" with me, even though I do not have the joy of living in a realm of "not invented here". Meridies is more of a...

At the risk of irritating some of the pedants, I think the most rewarding office I have ever held is that of being a member of the Order of the Pelican. I've...
-=-It's about being concerned about the whole deal, not just parts of it, and part of that concern is ensuring the parts work. It's about nurturing,...
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the first time someone has captured in words what it means for me to be pelican. It's something I felt from the very...
Greetings, Master Gwynfor, and All. Not a pedant. Not irritated. I view the Pelican as confraternity, obligation (gladly accepted), and privilege, but not as...

I wrote "Pedants will always be irritated about something. I know. I am one." Then I figured that would have been really irritating. I'm sorry. I didn't...

Hello, all. I began in the SCA in Iron Mountain (Birmingham, AL), Meridies, some sixteen years ago. I had heard of ThinkWell during numerous conversations,...
... Good point. I like this. One criterion that's come up a few times in the past is whether, if a peer were made, we would be embarrassed for him to move to...
... To be strictly fair, this doesn't have to be true. Most of the offices I've held over the years have had little-to-no bureaucracy. Of course, this is why I...
-=-It's not easy to combat the ever-rising tide, and there *is* a strong natural tendency for bureaucracy to grow, but there's nothing terribly inevitable...
-=-Or to put it differently: higher-level offices are, in most cases, more about *people* than the activities themselves. So it isn't a simple scale of...
I snipped part of Lord Dermod's message, but left the parts intact that I wish to discuss. While I do not refute your knight's advice, I don't see how that...
Lord Dermod and All, Good Morrow. Wisdom is not always a function of time-in-grade. I have found increasingly over the last decade and more that, the more I...
