Wow

Wow, so almost a year now and I'm finally on my second post.  Well progress is progress I guess.

A lot has happened in the past year.  Some things have been good and others not so much, but most notably I was finally ordained a Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide.  This accomplishment I am most proud of and am very much looking forward to begin guiding in the spring.  It will be great to finally be able to get paid for something I've been doing for fun for more than a decade.  I have fond memories of being a young (and sadly at the time 'farby') reenactor hanging out at the Angle on Cemetery Ridge and talking to anyone who would listen to a 12 year old pontificate about Pickett's Charge.  I'm a bit more polished in my presentation now- something for which I hope my future tours will appreciate.

In other news I've settled in downtown Frederick, Maryland, which I'm certain is the best place to live in the region.  History, great food and beer are in abundance which is all I could really ask for- and all within walking distance.

I do hope to be more active this year, so if you happened to stumble upon this post please check back soon.
