Musings

  • Irish Woman told me that all she wants for Valentine’s Day is a card and to go out on a date.  I took her word for it, but I took along a cyanide pill just in case.
  • If something is only important so long as I have to do all the work, then I guess it wasn’t that important.
  • If I say something and you pretend to not understand or hear until someone else repeats what I said word for word, then don’t come to me later and ask why I have an attitude problem.
  • Why, of course I need to do research on ancient Thracian auxiliary cavalry.  I’ve got nothing but time and energy to spare.
    • Related question – Any of you guys do Roman reenacting?
  • I know that Irish Woman will never be able to poison me through my breakfast, because so long as the dog doesn’t keel over from sniffing / licking it every morning, I’m good.
    • No, I have never eaten something I’ve witnessed the dog making physical contact with, but then I don’t watch my breakfast 100% of the time.
  • Girlie Bear thought it was hilarious when I told her that I never got into trouble as a private and was a model citizen and soldier.
    • That’s my story and I’m sticking with it. Nobody saw anything, and even if they did, I’m not going down alone.
  • It’s amazing how libertarian I become around tax time.

    Cynical young lady, isn’t she……….? but then again, she knows you better than us……

    Thracian cavalry?
    So which Belisarius books caught your attention?
    BTW, Cold Steel do a very acceptable repro Gladius….
    (whispers very quietly, fearful of keen Irish ears, “light enough for junior would be warriors to learn their trade, under the benign gaze of the Minivandian”…..)
