They say it is easier to teach a great rider how to fight than to teach a great fighter how to ride. Yes, I am fully aware I am going about learning to joust backwards and very late in life. I'm doing it any way. bit.ly/3HPFTP7

I seek a stanza. If you want to take it further, I won't complain, but a single stanza is all I need. Super bonus points if you write and perform a new folk song that people love. The topic: In support of Ukraine in their struggle against their bit.ly/35f5q5Y

It's Sunday, the 13th of March. I attended a practice for the Boston Dark Knights at Knights Hall in Nashua, NH this afternoon. I say attended, not participated because I'm still nursing a damaged rib. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, I fell off the horse I was bit.ly/36irOva

I'm excited to be presenting and fighting at the Vermont Renaissance Faire this weekend, with the Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword. If you're there, please come say hello! #vt #renfaire

I'm going to ENGLAND! I fly out tomorrow morning and will be in the Midlands through Monday. I'm attending a workshop at Historic Equitation but have no plans for Friday. Anyone have any suggestions?

Time for a middle of the off-season update! This past weekend, while I'd have normally been working with The Brotherhood of the Arrow and Sword at the Vermont Winter Renaissance Faire, I was delighted to take a trip to England to attend the second bit.ly/3RPPNWs

Do I have any followers who have direct contact with the folks at Historic Enterprises? I currently have 2 orders totaling $731.97 and I have not heard back from them on these since 5 April and 18 May. I'm going to need the items I ordered for Pennsic. I am concerned.

Those who know me know that I am rather picky about my arming swords. I have one I really love but it doesn't meet IMCF regulations, so I only use it for practice and demos. Today, I re-furbished the grip on a sword that does meet IMCF rules (just bit.ly/3CXTRgz
