I have many reasons to be thankful...

I am very blessed!



Beautiful and safe land to call my own.




Very silly friends.

It would be a lengthy post indeed were I to attempt to name all of my friends here in SL and all of Caledon. Please know that I am thankful for all of you, though I could only celebrate some of you here by name.

*smiles and waves to her fellow Swooner* We are thankful for you as well, and it is an honor to know you!

Lovely pictures, Your Grace. I am delighted to be included amongst your rogues' gallery. Thanks indeed are in order and Windlight is a wonderful addition to our world.

Your Grace,

it was very, very kinds of you to note my three posts to your blog last week (a record, mayhaps, for me) were all sent under my actual name. Ahem. My super secret shadow typist self. As you know my line of actual work, I am seriously happy you did not post them (that sounds more mysterious than the reality is worth). And so, the post that went here:


Eva,

this is truly lovely.

There are times, many times, I wish it were not such a genteel job being your Shield. Remember when I first came to Caledon and thought the 'war games' were real? I was very angry some burned down Hotspur's house...and ready to bring in every warmongering fiend I knew to protect your Land.

Caledon is so civil, so polite and kind, and I love those things. But pressed to it, as you know, I would swipe the head from any dolt or boor who gave you offense, then mount the skull on a pole at the Loch's westernmost point, or perhaps where the train enters from VC...a warning to all.

You are a treasure, Duchess.

Some nights, you know, I do not sleep in the Cay. No. I ride to the wilds of your own lands, and wrapped in my tartans, sleep in the wild outback beneath the Borealis and the Moon. Such is the energy you have given the Loch.

All my best to you and those you love.

Let us hope, now, I do not die in the first round of St. Andrews :) After this proclamation, I must win at least one!

Sir Tele
