Rurik Harrgath Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Welcome one and all! Come rest ye weary guild champions, put your feet up and order a beverage. Security at the door will check your cloak, weapons, and armaments (but I wouldn't trust them with your valuables wink wink). The fires in the hearth are roaring and the barkeep is freshly returned from both a specialty cocktail course and a smoothie retreat, so they can handle just about anything your heart could desire! Since we're entering the late summer months (depending on your hemisphere and/or multiverse), I have it on good authority that the Guildhall staff have set us up with a seasonal bounty out back... enjoy the NF Tiki Bar™ and beach, we have kayaking and other water sports down by the river for those of an adventuring persuasion, and I hear the Powers That Be™ even managed to put together a a rock climbing course to dabble on! Going into this August, remember our message in memory of friends current, newfound, and those whose memories we'll keep close to heart always: I'm a sentimental old curmudgeon; can't blame me for sticking to what works That said - Welcome, one and all!

This thread reminds me that I need to take my kayak out as well. I've just about gotten to where I can get the thing moving in a kind of consistent straight line...sort of. 2 Quote "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." -Henry Ford "The older I get, the more I understand that the only way to say valuable things is to lose your fear of being correct." -Malcolm Gladwell "If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things." -Miyamoto Musashi Link to comment
