| Your Brain is 53% Female, 47% Male |
![]() You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve |

You are the World
Completion, Good Reward.
The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

That puts me in the Barony of Concordia, for those of you in the SCA.
And now, back to my West Wing marathon. I've never seen the whole thing, and

We even set up video chat today. Woo Hoo.
Having problems with the lap top though. The keyboard is a bit smaller, since I got one with a numeric keypad, and so I keep making mistakes that do things like, wipe out everything I was doing. It's just going to take some practice.

Buon Giorno, you lucky people!
As many of you know, on Dec. 13, I will go swimming in Lake George to raise money for Special Olympics New York.
This will be the fifth time I have done it, and combining plunges with benefit walks, I have raised more than $5,000 for Special Olympics.
I have been around Special Olympics since high school, and I am really passionate about it.
I know times are tough, but I would appreciate any help you can give.
The link to donate online is: http://polarplunge.kintera.org/lakegeorg

If you want to send a check, please make it out to Special Olympics New York with my name in the memo line and send it to:
Bill Toscano
PO Box 176
Salem, NY 12865.
If you have already donated, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Also, please feel free to pass this along to friends, family and others.
In service,
Bill/Liam
And now the Announcement: I, Mercedes Vera de Calafia, will be taking Emeline Patterson as my Protege at 100 Minutes War in Rusted Woodlands on November 22nd. That also makes me hopeful, and happy.

The drive out was good. It takes 10 hours from here, which sucks, but having another person in the car makes for interesting, if sometimes paranoid and conspiratorial conversation.
The Bacon Vodka was not universally reviled, but it was close. I'll try it again, though. My Spiced Rum went over much better.
Best Showers Ever!
The weather was mostly wonderful. Can we order that weather for every year?
Personally I approve of what HRM Konrad did by conceding the War Points. I thought that the rapier negotiations revealed a 'win at any cost' mentality by those in the top slots, and it was born out by HRM Lutr's bad faith abrogation of the side balancing agreement.
I got to do more fencing this Pennsic than in the last 2 combined. In the third part of the Field Battle I killed Diego from behind (saying "Who's your Daddy, Diego" as I did). Then I killed HRM Lutr, three of his Knights, and a couple other random Middies.
The only time I made it down to Raven Spittle I encountered Drama and Shitty Behavior. Very Disappointing.
I was struck by the Sharc Pit curse on Friday morning with a case of food poisoning. Projectile Vomiting sucks. I'm finally able to eat normally again. I only had about 500 calories all weekend because my stomach was still so delicate.
Formed the Sisterhood of Clumsy Crossdressers. Raph, Alden and I are the Charter Members.
Didn't get to spend near enough time with my friends. MIssed many friends who couldn't make it.
Congratulations to Wyatt, Alexandre, Istvan, Moira and Lynette, on their awards.
And Huge Thanks to Alys for sharing her tent with me. I'm sorry your Pennsic wasn't as good as it could have been, but any time spent with you great.

The car is packed. Mom & I are all ready to go. 18 hours until we hit the road. We should be getting there around midnight.
I'll miss you if you're not there, and if you are, I'll see you there!

Things I liked:
What an amazing voice inside a sweet, funny, humble man.
Got to hear someone actually sing some Mario Lanza songs from The Student Prince, which is an old favorite on mine.
Got to hear Everybody Hurts in Italian.
The orchestra was live.
Things I didn't like:
The 'guest stars' were the Three Graces. I could have done without them, except for the song they did from La Traviata with Potts.
The lighting was so bad that several times I had very bright lights in my eyes for several minutes. There was one full song that I had my eyes closed thru because of the lights.
Take a Look At Me Now does not scan well in Italian.
Even with a live orchestra, there some backing tracks.
So, my scores are:
Music - 8
Production - 5
Overall - 7
