The Tradewind: OOC and Sign-up

[MWBailey]

Sorry about the wait. I'll do so as soon as I can get free; on again, off again family emergency at the moment.

[MWBailey]

Sorry it took me so long.

[Dr. Madd]

What exactly is an air kraken?

[MWBailey]

a sky-dwelling squid, basically. Usually reaches gargantuan proportions in adulthood  Juveniles can be from hand-sized to the size of, say, a large elephant, or larger as they approach adulthood. Completely fictional, of course - er, I hope.

[steamcowboy92]

Better bloody ve fictional or im never leaving my house again

[MWBailey]

Not to worry, I think they would have trumpeted such a discovery all over the news services if any had been found.

[steamcowboy92]

They may have and i wouldnt know. Im about 6months to a year behind on current affairs

[MWBailey]

Rafe knows all sorts of things, but a timetravel expert or interdimensional theorist he definitely isn't.

[MWBailey]

gutta percha: the real natural South American  fire-cured red rubber they used to use to make things like golf balls and stuff.

[Dr. Madd]

Is everyone alright?

[MWBailey]

Im not dead, yet...

[steamcowboy92]

Got a second job doin casino security so just been busy

[MWBailey]

Lots of stuff going on right now in my neck o' the woods. Autumn & Holiday dulcimer society performance and festival season; Learning the fiddle (there's a dearth of Old Time style fiddlers - no, bluegrass is not the same - around here); designing a very basic how-to irish flute/fife/pennywhistle playing workshop for festivals and club meetings just in case I get asked to do one; having to take over family typing duties from Mom, various other family and medical affairs. Busy, busy, busy...

[Dr. Madd]

Everyone ok? Would love to get back to this.

[steamcowboy92]

Yup

[MWBailey]

Getting over both flu and food poisoning, and folks' campaign to make docs take me off of so many different kinds of drugs. may be a few days more, but I could get back to posting relatively soon, provided life throws no further curveballs. Also Spring performance and festival seasons are coming up.

Ouch. Sounds like you've had a bad time of it.

So glad to hear from you again Mr Bailey.

[MWBailey]

Thanks, Jon B., Doc.

Unfortunately, I seem to be having a semblance of a relapse. Of course, my habitual snacking (which ironically usually saves me from gastric troubles) is not helping matters. Hopefully, since I've been able to post a couple of banjo videos without having to immediately run to the head (ahem; people, whom I was earlier on demonstrating playing techniques to, requested a couple of tunes played all the way through), I will be back to a more copascetic state and posting here again soon.
