F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day." A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day. I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers. These have stood waiting untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday a

I was wondering whether, for Sittangbad, it is worth bothering with the 2nd Engineer battalion - for the Electoral side. After all, (as the attacking forces) there isn't much use for it, and it's likely to be the last unit onto the table.
They are looking very good . . . as your figures generally do.
Sorry that you missed my call the other evening. I hope that you got the message about how I paint hat tape before you tackled it.
I'm kind of zonked right now on a pain pill (I've got an abscessed tooth -- dentist tomorrow, I hope).
Give my best to your charming Grand Duchess.
