Cool dog sayings...

"The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him, and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too." Samuel Bulter

"The misery of keeping a dog is his dying so soon. But, to be sure, if he lived for 50 years and then died, what would become of me?" Sir Walter Scott.


Thoughts to brighten you day on a gloomy, cold, rainy Illinios Tuesday.

I WILL be back...

Sorry for not blogging for a while. I have been extremely busy as of late and no time for anything else. I will be back. With thoughts motorcycles and things like that. I know you can't wait...

Re-enacting in the future.

As many of you know, I and my friends and family are involved in historical re-enacting. We find it educational, challenging and fun. And for the most part, we focus on the daily aspects of life in the time periods we set our re-enacted personas in. Today, while driving to work, I noticed a skateboarder zipping down the block and thought to myself, "Two-hundred years from now, will anybody re-enact the late 20th and early 21st century?" If if they do, will they get it right? Do you think there will be skateboarding re-enactors? Will they have replica cell phones that they will spend their time on? What about laptops? Just what would future re-enactors do if they decided to revisit our time period? Will they focus mainly on the military events of the time, like most re-enactment groups do, or will there be some focus on the civilian population like some groups are doing now? Many re-enactment groups are forming civilian representations rather than focusing on just the military. Who knows. It was just something I was thinking about. Is there anything worth re-enacting in the late 20th and early 21st century?

Later!
