"...duty, heavier than a mountain" May the creative team rise to the expectation!

nice pics! I almost went....

when Rand and Matt were still lads from Two Rivers and traveled with Thom living rough, working the inns under Thom's mentorship learning to juggle, play harp and the pipe. I always wanted more of that....

"That girl is a witch" "yeah, but she's our witch."

Interesting test with changing results as RL experiences change me from who I was before to who I am currently.

I'm trying to get through No Future by Paul Cornell ( a 7th Doctor story that has been easy to put down and forget about) I just started Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin since I've yet again put down No Future. I've never started a book that put me in a horse's perspective. I liked that.

At a Library book sale I bought 7 books in the series "Wheel of Time" because of the covers....

Thank you and I can't wait to put my paws on it:-)

Mei Mei, BROWNcoats in the Wheelverse Shiny!

Go light, really light, I managed a 3 week trip to Greece and Crete with only a small carry on bag. My best advice. Take things that you can leave behind, lose, or give away. Leave jewelry at home, If it's spring, summer or fall. take cotton clothes that can wash and dry easily. Look at current local newspapers online to see how people are dressing in the country you are visiting. Take your cues from that. Bring a paperback book that can be read and left behind. Pack a few plastic hooks that can go over doors to hang things up with and some long shoe laces that can be used in oh so many unexpected ways. (leave behind) Find out a little about their music, their famous authors, their language and their history. Take a Sunday and go to a local church for a service, it's a fantastic way of meeting people in the community. Most importantly learn how to say "Please" and "Thank You" and then ask for help in pronouncing it correctly. Plan, expect the unexpected and roll with the many things that just don't go according to the plan. Be a gracious guest! Happy Trails, I'm off to Pontos in a few months for a dance workshop!

Enjoyed the vid, realized I knew way too much about the show and then started memorizing the writers and the episodes they've written. (Classic and Re-boot) This is bad.......

The profile picture was taken last year at Knossos in Crete. I had an amazing opportunity to spend a week in mainland Greece and the Peloponnese followed by 2 weeks in Crete. The archaeological site is from the Bronze age, and there is also a small area that the scholars believe might be from the Neolithic age. For a fun read before going to Crete or just a fun fast read try: "The King must Die' and then "The Bull from the Sea" by Mary Renault.

Thanks it has been a while, time to revisit the earlier books. I'd have liked his story to have been flushed out along with the rest of the peoples of Two Rivers.
