Like many others, I (and da Jacksta) was at Summerland. We also had a wonderful time. Seeing all the various ADF'ers was (in the words of one Travelista on LOGO) "A Rockin' Good Time!" Saw LJ people (the ever sparkley uberrod and the ever ... everable romandruid).

The Onions (Me, Jack and Barbara) were a veritable troika of energy swamping the ADF Leadership. We compared notes and apparently tackled any number of them. Promises were made, plans revealed and history ho-hummed "we're over that, why don't you work thru it too?" All in all, a fun time was had by all.

I missed the chance to take an Oath at the Unity Ritual, but was able to deliver it to Kirk ("I will work with the ADF Solitaries to encourage their Unity within ADF.") Emerald, our delightful Member's Advocate, wanted to remind everyone (after The Reading of The Proto/Grove list during the ritual) that the Sols were just as much a part of the Unity of ADF as the various congregations. Good show Emerald!!! I was much moved but not enuf to interrupt the ritual for an Oath to that effect. I later apologized to Emerald and found Kirk later that night at the concert. Mission Accomplished!

Along the Oath-taking line was an offer to help out our Preceptor, Raven, with any issues he might be having. I'm taking a look at one of the Guilds-in-Trouble and seeing if there's any assistance I can offer there. Time will tell...

Both Barbara's and Jack's workshops were well received, and we had a bang up time with the Sassy Sassafrassers and the not-really-all-that-eerie Eriens. We can back chattering up liturgy, politics, history, and the-foolishness-of-humanity. You know, the usual ADF Festival De-construct.

Good Times!
