May 12, 2015: Recap, Family

Maximus 12, KY 1

I am pleased to announce that Kalehalla has a new water heater.  That is the extent of our weekend.  Saturday morning we put in the new water heater, then Lord Darksteel and Les Morgan came over and we ate steamed salmon and asparagus.  Then we proceeded to empty bottles that were almost gone.  We finished off the Linne Aquavit, the most recent Concannon, the Stoli, the Jager, made a dent in the Amsterdam Gin and drank every beer that was left in the house.  It needed to be done so we could go buy more and have room for it.

Sunday was Mother's Day and I made sure to call The Raven Queen.  I also made sure to send messages to the most important mother's in my life first Eris the Anarchist, second Chariskalee (who is just an amazing old friend who I do not see enough) and lastly my wonderful En Sile Sigrdifa whom I admire for all of her strength.  That is all that I do for Mother's Day.  I wish the most important mothers in my life good tidings and then I go forward.  Some might say that what I do is not enough for the woman who raised me in this world, but I say be honorable to your matriarch ALL days not just one chosen for the sake of retail.  In regards to the mothers of my children I respect you for that but we are not involved any longer and my treatment of you is based on your treatment of me.  One does not correspond with me so I do not correspond with her and one makes it a point to be involved so I honor her for that.  As for the others, they are the only ones I respect right now.  The holiday is now a "let us make every woman a mother because of the potential or they have pets or whatever."  I find no value in that, it is the same as getting a prize for participation, not that meaningful.  In addition I am fed up with the single mothers usurping Father's Day because "they do both jobs" I do both jobs and do not want Father's or Mother's Day recognition, IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND MY PRIVILEGE, I DO NOT NEED A REWARD.

Now on a side note, All of my children took the time and made their way up to the Raven Queen's house to honor her.  All of them did this without being prodded, Regina Elsa, The Wee Dancer, Babuchka, The Grey Knight, Utsukushi Shinigami and Athletwyr all came and visited and Gialdron called from his work to wish the Raven Queen well.  I am very proud of my children.

May 7, 2015: Weekend Recap/Preview/Life Goes Fast

Maximus 7, KY 1

Life goes fast!  Somehow Avengers on Saturday turned into a melding of days that have just blurred in my consciousness.  At least some tasks have been completed.  I made sure to schedule the camping weekend and reserve the campground at Willard Bay.  I sent out invitations and created the Kalehalla events that are for sure taking place this month.  I made sure that The Wee Dancer's dance classes were on the schedule and a bunch of other tasks that life requires of us.

Well back to the weekend.  Avengers Age of Ultron was epic, I loved the movie and would highly recommend it.  That being said, I walked away with that transitional movie feel that I get whenever I walk away from a second film like The Two Towers or Empire Strikes Back.  I feel that everything done in Ultron was done to set up Captain America Civil War (which should just be called Avengers 3)  So needless to say I can't wait for that.  It was wonderful to see my sons and enjoy the experience with them as well.

We have a house project here at Kalehalla this weekend so there might not be much time for a social gathering.  Our water heater went out, so Saturday is the day we replace it.  Needless to say after doing a task such as that Whiskey and Beer shall be in order.  I am contemplating a night at Piper Down or The Republican so we shall see.  I also have been wanting a night out with the girls because I have not seen Bomba or Les Morgan much lately and it is important for me to spend time with everyone in The Lords.

News on the success of the water heater will be in next week's post and if any misadventures happen I will let everyone know.  Until then By Hovud & Gungnir!!!
