Better late than never
Yay! It's me, the slowest of the lemmings.

Regarding Sir Roland - ABOUT DAMN TIME! Theo wrote a lovely ceremony to which the participants more than did justice, and the V'ermine Triumvirate (and spouses) worked their usual magic with the hospitality.

Being at Ymir reminded me how much I miss going to events and hanging out with the many amazing people I am lucky enough to call friends. Before you get on me about going to more events, let me explain why I don't. I travel for work. A lot. I average two weeks of travel per month. The last thing I want to do on a weekend is pack again and travel more. Some folks made a list of their event travels for the previous year. I made a list of my work travels. This is just from the current job - I need to go back through expense reports to find the trips before May 2006.

Now this little lemming has to get back writing reports from her most recent travel. It was even colder in New Hampshire than it is here!
