These are my new friends: Mr. Sheet Bend, Mr. Bowline (and his French cousin), and Sir Lark's Head Hitch. I've spent the last few nights getting to know them, and it's amazing what a little time spent can do. I shouldn't neglect the the Clove Hitch either. I'll start that tonight.
On a sad and related note, a man who spent a lot of time working in the SM community as an educator and advocate, Tammad Ramilia, died last night in a car accident. The news gave me a bit of a chill, as I was just on his excellent site last night [ link leads to mature content ]. I know many people will feel his loss. His web site has helped me many times, and quite a lot recently, and I was glad to hear his hosting company will leave it up as a memorial to his dedication and service. It makes me stop and realize what is truly important to me and how precious time is. Moments like this lead me to think ahead to what my final words would be. I think it's safe to assume they will not be: "I wish I spent more time playing Clan Lord."
