I’m just back from my annual time in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  Three days of stone wall building, stone fire pit building, stone wall/five seat bench building, evening feasting of sea bass and lamb, zen and the art of archery, yoga, hiking, ATVing, log splitting, secluded mountain pool ablutions, etc …

now, it’s time ….

I hope you are all preparing for Extensions Saturday 2012, it promises to be “the greatest Event yet”.

On October First I travelled South to enjoy the facilities as offered via Visitor Blim.  We enjoyed some Good Times via The Circle Game.  The Circle Game took place in Z1D (Zone One Duxbury) for the most part.  This featured two Full Olympic Standard rounds which featured Throne Seating and Sky View Seating for the Stations of the Circle component.  Circle the third was an “on call mingling” and took place in Z2D.  Z2D features two locales, standard on the deck: Z2D and the new Z2D Within the Pale Seating.  Some filming was done Beyond the Pale in Z3D.

Here is the Set List:

On Friday we had the Eve party for Janice.  Attended by Winthrop Frank and Holly:

For the Big Day we began with a trip to the Pour House. We were joined by The Wife, Winthrop FranknHolly,KB, Joe, and Francesca (not pictured) followed by a trip to the salon:

And then, that evening we had a fine Celebration:

Then, the next day a trip to Salem:

On Monday the OFFICIAL Jubilee wrapped up with me, Visitor Blim, and Janice hitting local fave Neptune Oyster:

Thanks to All who participated and made this a very special Jubilee!

With the Autumnal Equinox hitting Saturday morning, it must mean it’s time for Janice’s 44th birthday again, and the start of the 2012-13 Season.

Word has it that Janice will be staying at the illustrious Inn at Crystal Cove from Friday to Monday.

Activities to include:

Friday Night night-cap 

Saturday Morning Breakfast at the Pour House, a trip to the Salon, then a Saturday Evening Night-cap.

If there be enough interest, perhaps a film event here that evening …

Sunday morning: 9AM ferry to Boston then the 10AM ferry to Salem.

The Salem trip is a guaranteed Good Time that you don’t want to miss!!!

Make contact if interested in any of these OFFICIAL Events.

… as a reminder:

On Sunday The Wife and I went to what we calculated to be our 20th Wedding together.

This was the second time I was asked to be the Officiant.

So, doing the maths, I reckon it to be 10% of Weddings I go to I Officiate.

Here are a few images I found on the internet of The Minister at Work:

One of the Now Today correspondents recently unearthed this “lost” photograph.

Vlindinhauer Haverhast as Kurt Wells and Sabitathica as DJS

Looks like they were just exiting a Sbarro, I suspect “on the road” between Boston and the more Western part of the Commonwealth.

Not for Sale.

The internet tells me that “The Mission” played a small club somewhere last night and debuted their first new song in years and years:

After this mornings Sitting I treated myself to a sunrise ablution-by-the-sea.

A Celebration of sorts.

Pop left 17 years ago

Here he is with his childhood friend “Ray”.  

Ray left 14 or 15 years before Pop did.

Good Times.  Bittersweet Times.  But damn: Times.  Let’s have more, not less of them.

In other news, I wrote to Sharon Osbourne yesterday inviting her and Ozzy to BSMXIII.  In light of the new album and BSMXIII being a descending pattern year it makes sense, right?

Today marks Roger’s Birthday.

Or, rather, George Roger Waters …

Roger helped many of us with alienation and art.

Here is Roger with the first of his several wives:
