The Plague has struck Fort Belmont! ( or possibly its the flu or maybe only a particularly nasty cold. )
Gaming and painting has been temporarily suspended but my stock of old movies is getting a work out, and, luckily, Mike at Historifigs recently uploaded some more old Morschauser articles including 2 I hadn't read before.

Yellow Jack
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

I recommend rum and gunpowder, followed by a strong purgative. Regular doses of Zulu, the Four Feathers (the good one, not the modern abomination), Waterloo, Sahara (the Bogart version) and Master and Commander should also be taken. You'll be right as a trivet in no time.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better soon, sir. And enjoy those films and articles while working on your recovery.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ross, remember that SLEEP is the body's best tool to facilitate healing and recovery . . . in other words, "naps are good".
