Time turns like the wheel of a cart. Each point touches the ground only briefly then moves away. But like the seasons that run their cycle from spring to fall and back again, the wheel turns and that point returns to contact the ground again. Such is time and such is life. I have journeyed far through hard lands and contested the will of strangers for many seasons now. The people of my Kunja have encountered and persevered through many hardships. My Scythic brother has returned to the lands of his youth to tend his herds see to the welfare of his Inna-Kunds. I am happy in knowing that he is happy. The clans come together and move apart. The turning of the years has seen me living among the Romans, but their ways are not mine. Often I find myself thinking of my time on the green Isle, joined with another clan. Many friends I made, and enemies as well, and remembering them a desire was born to see them all again. So I set my course once more for the west, to visit the clan I once served. Expect me in the fall at the time you hold holy. I look forward to seeing those I left behind as well as meeting those who have come sense my departure. To those who I always held special, Aongus my Celtic brother and Comyn who I have known for years un-countable, I say the days that separate us are few...I will return.

What news
Brogan is working on a workshop for the benefit of the clann, which will feature such
goodies as a lathe and a drill press. Guthrum looked at the heater
for the clan cooking trailer and has declared that it is officially
broken. He will try to fix it to the extent that the warrantee
will allow, and if it still doesnt work will send it back.
Sabha
is happily occupied with the baby, while nearby, Comyn has
outwitted the blackbirds and showed up with a gallon of blueberries
from the bush outside. Brogan dedicated 5 gallons of blueberry
beer to the clann.
* note to clann. show up with ingredients for things, and show
them to brogan. he will be attracted to them and promise to cook
us stuff. kind of like a magpie looking at shiny things.
EW is the proud owner of a new car, a lovely station wagon.
Fionnualla is totally taken up with Brynna. Eachna is working a
lot but looking towards a new job?? Aonghus is also working a lot
and also looking for greener pastures...
Old Business:
Comyn owes EW and Brogan in connection with having
set EW's tamborine on fire.
New Business:

have a proposal before the clann perhaps by next meeting.
2.) Imbolc 05 February
The second annual craft fair is slated for this year. Emphasis is,

items to the clann for auction. Of course a treasured non-auction
piece will be a great addition to the show as well. A prize will
be awarded to the member who brings the single biggest ticket item.
