Afternoon Delights, Rainy Afternoon Thoughts, etc.

Well, Mortals, now we have some time together this Wednesday afternoon, so I thought a few brief scribbles in the ol' Diary of Magecraft were in order ere I returned to the humble hovel. Despite the threatening skies, first of all, to say nothing of the fact that the event is now an invitation-only affair, FDNY Medal Day 2008 went off without a hitch! This year's Medal Day Ceremony was a milestone, too. For the first time, the achievements of Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service personnel were honored in a single ceremony, making FDNY Medal Day as state-of-the-art as NYC.gov/FDNY itself.

Still, one cannot know what will happen to these brave heroes next; I imagine that their achievements will very likely be celebrated at the end of the afternoon, with the FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums huffing and puffing happily in the background, as they usually do. Well, with Medal Day out of the way now, the focus in our world turns to the icky concept (which I hope won't happen) of Obama-Hillary. Now that's a horror I don't think I should like to wake up to --- and I trust that Mark Levin joins me in expressing that hope; as you know, Lord Levin and your humble Dragonmaster are the only ones who, by and large, get it --- it being that there's a world out there that loathes our glorious U.S. of A. for simply being itself; do you honestly suppose I'm going to allow the Bad Guys to reign supreme? WRONG!

Some Wizards can take stuff; others, like me, know when there be a time when one must kick butt, if one so chooses. And kiddos, hither be such a time. I shall doubtless have more to say on this anon.

As ever,

Master Blackwolf
