Went for a lovely walk in the park today, with my Lovely Wife, our Delightful Daughter, and a Young Friend. On the way back from the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, we happened upon a fire circle where someone had left a fire burning and unattended. Not a huge one, mostly burned down, but with small tongues of flame still dancing around here and there, and big ol' branches sticking out beyond the sides of the ring, and a liberal supply of dry, dead leaves roundabout.
So ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) veshengri took the girls back up to pay for more parking time, while I made fifteen or twenty trips to the nearby creek to fill up a couple of small drink bottles with water to douse the thing.
Now, despite what my psycho-ex-from-Hell (resisting the temptation to hyperlink to her website) thinks, I did something this afternoon which I've never done before. I did it carefully and precisely, but this is the first time I've ever actually laid a formal curse on someone.
Herewith my curse:
"Brighid, Lady of the fire, hear my curse. Let those who did this find no peace, no delight, no joy from fire or smoke lit for pleasure, for aesthetics, for romance, for art, until they learn to treat fire with the respect it deserves May their candles gutter, may their fires sputter and smoke, may incense go out or smell foul. This my curse upon them."
Note that I carefully left out any reference to situations where they need fire for health or safety, but specifically targeted it at them for any pleasurable uses of fire or smoke.
Assholes. |

At what time on Friday will the "Meet The Pros" party be? When has it been held in previous years?
Trying to get my day-planner updated. Looking forward to seeing you all at the convention.
