Silmaril Independence Moot 2016

Independence Moot, if I may call it that, is actually still ongoing, but the Formendacil and Nienna portion has run its course, and I will get my thoughts out now, while they are still fresh, even as...

Indeed, they were a couple of delightful visits--it was delightful to see Wilwa and Glirdan again, and it was delightful to meet Bęthberry--my first new Downer since Bostonmoot. It's somewhat...

I'm with Mnemo here--the strange looks started long before I left, when I told people I was going away during the Christmas holidays to meet people from the Internet.

Wilwa's quite right,...

Going through and replying to some--alas, not all!--of the stuff I meant to reply to earlier, though the sleep deprivation and mad dump back into "reality" discouraged it.



Really? Really,...

As an addendum:

It was a real privilege to be on the welcoming committee for so many of you. As the first out-of-towner to arrive, I had the opportunity and volunteered for it, to meet people at...

Silmaril Bostonmoot 2009/10

I'm not yet fully rested from my incredible trip to Bostonmoot, and given that I didn't get a good sleep last night because I was dreaming that I was still there and was reliving having to leave, it...

Oh, and because the philosopher in me can miss the completely obvious at times, let me add that while it may seem hardly any Downers have not met someone, if you subtract Downers who already knew...

You're taking it a little hard if you think that. It's more than just a matter of time on the Downs, though that is certainly a part of it. My first Downer meeting (with Brinn: awkward "hi"s in the...

Yes, but I'd just got OFF the plane! As far as she was concerned, I was going to walk out into Ottawa and never fly again--and if ties are dangerous, then our national capital is already in big...

A Visit of Unfortunate Events

There is a prevailing belief that all Barrow-downer meetings must invariably be excellent, a belief that has no doubt been greatly assisted by the fact that, as yet, there has not been a meeting...

Personally, I'm just waiting for our first BD wedding, so I can *sort of* justify travelling far and *undoubtedly* spending too much money.

Rikae & Mac?
Eomer & Cailin?

Any takers?

I was most definitely nervous by the time I reached Brinniel's place, and I blame the long car ride, since I wasn't nervous beforehand, but rather excited instead. However, there's something about...
