My Dearest Corwynne,
It is so nice to see the King kept a diary of his Pennsic experience. So often first times do not bother with a journal and when they get home they can not remember what happened....mostly due to the drunken haze which can sometime last for weeks afterwards.
Speaking of drunken haze....how are you fairing with you withdrawl from alcohol?
All is quiet in the settlement. The elves are busy studying and debating the pollution study. Let us hope that Leggs is successful at keeping them at home.
Looking forward to reading more of the diary.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah

Look What I Found!
My Dearest Kendrah,
I wondered why Leggs was so difficult to track down! At least we know he dedicated his vacation to a good cause.
BTW...Look what I found while searching Aragorn’s rucksack for dirty clothes! I probably shouldn’t even be reading this, let alone sending it to you, but if a Man leaves his Pennsic diary just laying around while his beloved is doing all his laundry...
Dear Diary,
Saturday, Land Grab
Watched C. put up tents. Didn’t help. Knew she would get hot and change into that sleazy booby shirt. As Geoff would say “God Damn!” Also, did not want it to look too easy for her to put up tents. Was more fun watching her, Simon and Catherine do it. Drank beer. That’s why there was none in her cooler when she went looking for it. Tee hee! Slept under picnic table (like Geoff does) and re-lived good old Ranger days. Drank more beer.
Dear Diary
Sunday
It was hot. Had to remove sexy leather coat. Mended spare shirt that Eomer lent me. Had C. explain meaning of “Bard Simpson”. Ha, ha! Must sneak more Simpsons series disks onto her Netflix queue. Drank some beer. Gave Kate her shot glasses. I had to smuggle them past customs. Hope C. and Faramir get those trade agreements worked out. Kings shouldn’t smuggle. No activity on battlefield. Bummer! Considering entering Historic Combat series events. Could be interesting...
Dear Diary
Monday
It’s still hot. We all sat under the pavilion and didn’t move. C. made lots of coffee until we all switched to beer. The girls kept picking on Amron for wearing his old green shirt with all the rips in it. They should knock it off. Old fighting shirts are like old friends! C. keeps trying to throw away my old Fellowship shirt, but I won’t let her. Maybe I’ll donate it to a museum one day. We’ll see...
I found some knights to fight with. That was fun. Glad I had fake ID made so I could get my authorizations. Had to lie about my age. Did not get pole-arm authorization :-( Will try again tomorrow.
Dear Diary
Tuesday
C. got up early and made coffee again. I might ask her if I can sleep in her tent. The dew was so heavy this morning there were puddles on all the furniture and it was dripping off the pavilion like rain! I tried for my pole-arm authorization again but to no avail. The Marshall said I hit too hard and made a snide remark about my style being old-fashioned!. Will try tomorrow one more time. Will look for a different Marshal. The girls played Yahtzee for quite some time this afternoon. K. kept winning. Well, C., you know what they say...unlucky at cards, lucky in love. Wink, wink! Maybe I will get C. a beer to show my affection...
I must be off for now. There is certainly more of dear king’s diary to come.
Your Affectionate Friend,

The Pennsic Research Project
My Dearest Corwynne,
I am glad to hear the you have returned safely. I was surprised to discover that our vacation was not a vacation, but a research project. It seems that the elves in the settlement have been discussing visiting reality and Leggs decided that this needed to be stopped. I was curious as to why he was so quick to agree to coming along.
It turns out that he used the trip to study the effects of the modern day pollutants on the object that has the most importance to the elves....the trees. I knew that he was studying them but I had no idea that this was a project for the settlement. Don't get me wrong, anything that will stop the elves from popping in and out is a good thing, but I could have arranged the study so that he didn't have spend our entire vacation on it.
So now, much like the king, Leggs is not helping with the fallout from the trip. He is busy compiling the reports for the elves. Hopefully it will convince them.
Hope you laundry is coming along.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah

Well, We're back.
My Dearest Kendrah,
Just a quick note to let you know that Aragorn and I arrived safely home from our journey to Pennsic. It was lovely seeing you there, but I still wish Leggs had been able to spend a bit more time wih us.
I've been in the throes of post-Pennsic cleanup..laundry, dishes, cleaning coolers. Aragorn left all his stuff at my place so looks like I'll be washing his smallclothes and mending his shirts again! The least he could do is sort colours from whites! I find it interesting that Gondor is always facing some crisis that calls hime away when there is work to do around the house!
I do plan to write more soon. I'm back at work today trying to fix everything that went wrong while I was gone and wondering why I'm still sober when it's already after 4 pm!
Hope your post Pennsic clean-up is on track!

Works of Fiction
My Dearest Corwynne,
Thank you so much for coming to the party. It is so nice to have some one who knows that when you invite them to a party they know that when they accept they are also agreeing to help clean before hand.I think it went very well and Brennan was thrilled with all of it.
I am in awe of the fact that the King is reading the Harry Potter books. It must be because I can not let Leggs near anything like that. I am sure that he would not be able to grasp the idea of fiction, which is strange since he is a work of fiction himself. I am certain he would be immediatley searching for the forbidden forest on the middle earth maps so that he could go and fight the servent of Sauron called Lord Voldemort. The very idea of two Dark Lords int the world would probably make his head explode. He would also be trying to visit the Ministry of Magic to get himself appointed as body guard to Harry, since he did help protect the ringbearer after all. It would be a mess.
There is not much to report around here. Life has been dull since you departed and completely consumed with Pennsic packing. I am sure we will have much to write about when we return for I am sure our boys will be busy in our absence. See you soon.
Your affectionate friend,
Kendrah
