Son of "I love my friends!"

[gurdymonkey]

I just had a man half my age PM to ask if there was any chance he'd see me at Pennsic.

This is the self-same gentleman who threw himself to his knees, bowed, then kissed my hand and said how honored he was the first time we met face to face at Kingdom Crusades a couple years ago. The one who followed me through a downpour last August helpfully pointing out puddles and trying not to be too shocked when I splashed gaily through them, the one who escorted me back to my camp after we'd gotten some tea into us and the storm broke.

It was with genuine regret that I had to tell him no.

To those of you traveling to Pennsic, may you have safe, dry and happy journeys, adventures of the good kind and stories to tell when you get back.

If this is the Bushi with the Bear Bootses, He IS a paragon.

That sounds The Bushi From The Outlands, who also followed me through that downpour, then shared his 10 Foot Square Hut, tea and Mike's Hard Lemonade with us. (A little taller 'n me, dark hair, beard, eyebrows like Daruma, wears brown a lot.) Also one of My Favorite People.

This is a young'un from the East Kingdom, likewise a paragon. He's on the Queen's Guard. Again.

Admirers -- when not the creepy kind -- are soooooo nice. A little sunshine for the ego to bask in.
