Though, I rarely blog in general to begin with, so..... meh.

It's been a rather rough couple of months. My job is changing at work (again) and it's been very depressing seeing my department being dismantled and outsourced. At least the work is being kept in the same state, but I'm going to have to lay off most of my crew now. Blah.

Recent events,

Hudson Valley Mayfaire. A very nice little 1 weekend charity event. A true family event as the have ale for Dad and mead and wine for Mom. heheheheh. It's a little like a warm up event for all the Rennies of the NY/NJ/CT area. Very Rennie friendly and if the weather cooperates, very enjoyable, well, even if the weather isn't  the best it's still a lot of fun, so if your in the area next year, be sure to add this to your schedule.

NYRF/Tux had it's annual volunteer clean-up day to start the process of preparing the grounds for the new season. It's a lot of work, but it goes quickly as a lot of good friends and new friends come and share the work. Plus they feed you, provide beer with the food and The Long Island Meadery was there with samples of all their fine meads. A really nice incentive to go help is the free passes for the season you receive for working the day as well.

Going to try and do the NJRK..errr NJPirateK next weekend. Another small faire and it runs 3 weekends. Less than an hour away for me, but it's a dry faire*sob*. Also very Rennie friendly and a lot of the same folks that do Mayfaire show up.

June 14th I'll be at the Pirate Festival in Long Island. Black powder salvos, YARRRRRR.

Any of ye piratical types floatin' about this site, feel free to "Friend" me. Tis always good to corespond with others of the "Sweet Trade". Harrrrr.
