Re: shapeshifters in period. I started the research and then got sidetracked when I made the mistake of peeking into the sagas. The vikings, the Norse folk at least, were really into it. Lots of werebears and some werewolves. When I took a look at how many there were, something inside froze up. It's still on my research list, but on the backburner. For a class, it's pretty clear that I'll need to pick a small sliver and go from there. Really, I had no idea there was that much stuff out there.
Spies are way cool and Elizabethan spies in particular are documented. I'm waiting on a new biography of Walsingham to be released. C'mon, Amazon! He was one of the two spymasters during Elizabeth I's regime. While I do have the books *eyes stack* and I could get it prepared in time...hmmm, well, I could, but I'll probably skip that in favor of sticking in the twelfth century for a bit. Tiny brains get distracted and confused easily.
I'll try to get Tim to contact Colleen about October. October is a five-weekend month and they're rather uncertain as to who gets that weekend. He's usually the first and third, while she does the second and fourth weekends. She just took July's fifth weekend so I've no clue (and neither does Tim) as to October.
I am a complete pain to feed as I don't eat most pork or beef. I think I know where this particular school is. Worked not that far away for eleven years in WC, but I can't place any mediteranean places - not that that couldn't change in the last several years since we're been gone. Boy, do I miss Pomegranite in WC. And Back 40 in PH. Damn, now I'm hungry.
Best of luck getting your classes ready.
Hope the weather cools down. We're in Martinez tomorrow and the temps I saw were in the nineties. I think it's 65 here. I'm going to melt.
