This Saturday was the annual Christmas potluck and court for Rivenstar. With Countess Baroness Takaya to one side, and THL Francois, his lady at the other, Duke Master Baron Moonwulf raised a toast to the citizens of Rivenstar, including one recently lost, My hound Ears. There may have been dry eyes at that feast, but mine and Bartholomew's were not among them. My heartfelt gratitude for this kindness, and the understanding of those of you who offered condolences and sympathy. I would also like to express my thanks for The Order of the Rivenstar, a baronial award bestowed for service to the barony, on me for maintaining the baronial pack for "lo these many years" (five). I accepted on behalf of myself and the hounds who have served, and when the medallion is not on my person, it most often will be found on the shelf that holds the ashes and mementos of those who passed before us. Although it was stated that there is no obligation for further service, notions of dog carts, period canine circuses and races with IGs and miniature Roman chariots are chasing through my brain (yes, there is documentation). If such is of interest to others please let me know...
