When tidings reach'd him of Rodrigo's success A maiden came to the King seeking redress Of a deed done by Castile's brave young warder What evil done by he who guards my border The king did doubt that Rodrigo could transgress He has done no evil deed she did confess With justice Rodrigo did slay my father I am Ximena Gomez may God forgive I ask not for Rodrigo's head but his hand As husband for his valor is seductive So shall you be s... read more

Five armies on the march each led by a king five towns fell unappos'd to their pillaging Thier villany done they turn'd to march homeward Rodrigo call'd the Castillians forward In the battle the blade of his sword did ring And for the Moors there would be no escaping They drop'd their weapons and cast themselves downward The five Kings Rodrigo he himself did take The spoils the Hidalgos and soldiers did share To imprison a king would be a... read more
Yesterday, James and I went to "Night on the Town" (a local SCA event). We were day tripping, so I guess it was "Day on the Town" for us. The site is fantastic. There is plenty of room for a list field and parking. There is a hall and a roofed patio for feasting and Arts & Sciences. There are even cabins for overnight stays.

We have enough cats. We had two the last time I left for a voyage and I was happy with that, and yet Gwen felt the need to get another. I like our new cat. He's a cute rascal. But we now have enough cats. Last week another cat started hanging around our yard. He's very freindly and likes to be petted. He has even rubbed up against our dog Otis. (All our cats do that to Otis and he tries to pretend they don't exist). I told the kids that when I was their age our cats stayed outside an...
