Oops. Behind again.



So, as usual when I'm on one of these trips, I'm totally behind on entries. Since I'm all packed and leaving Albuquerque in the morning, and it's 1 AM now, I'm not going to have a chance to talk about everything that's happened in-depth at this time. Sorry about that.

In the event that I do get around to writing about the events of this Asatour at a later date, here's a list of highpoints with some basics.
• Southwest Moot -- I had actually started an entry on this, but it's still in draft form. The Moot took place at Golden Gate Canyon State Park, just outside Golden, Colorado. I met lots of great people, had some amazing experiences, and got to camp for the first time in a while. Special thanks to Thorolf for all his help in getting me registered while I was away in Iraq!
• After returning to Albuquerque from the Moot, I attended a blot and sumbel led by Bill Bainbridge in the Sandia mountains above Albuquerque. Other attendees were BobTheSane and a couple of new locals, Greg and Kristen. Also while in town, i had dinner with Bill Bainbridge and his wife Barb. These were both great times and, along with the time spent together at the Moot, helped me in getting to know Bill better.
• No visit to Albuquerque would feel complete without chances to visit with Erich and Celeste. Their lives remain busy as always, but they were able to find a little time to meet with the wandering heathen. Incidentally, in case I haven't plugged it lately, feel free to nag Erich about his upcoming online heathen/music-oriented embroidery business, Wyrd Stitches. I'm including the link although it seems to be down at the time of this writing.
• I spent an evening with Grundair, BobTheSane, and RoguesPride. Good conversations!
• High on my list is definitely getting to meet The Seiðman. We talked until 2 am about life, weddings, the Red Man, heathenry, music, politics... we talked a lot. I also got to meet his lovely wife, 2 youngest children, and got to eat menudo for the first time! I look forward to future visits and discussions with my new friend.

On top of all this, I got a buttload of new books, new thoughts, and general new crap. I look forward to sharing the thoughts with ya'll, when it's not 2 AM and when I'm not hitting the road fairly bright and early.

Take care, ya'll!
