Hello all and welcome to my world. I am venturing into this project with an
eye to having some fun and sharing some of the things I enjoy. I have always
enjoyed traveling the Worldwide Web and seeing what others want to share.
Now it's my turn to join the society of WWW users who share their lives, or
at least a portion.
First, I need to share with you some of the history and life of this humble
knight with the unlikely name of Chuck. I live in the heartland of America,
in a little village known as Bellevue, a small hamlet near the great unwalled
fortress of Omaha which guards the Missouri river, in the vast untamed
territory of Nebraska. I ventured to this land 17 summers past after
finishing studies at a great center of learning in my native land of Colorado.
I have seen 38 summers pass in this realm of life, most of them fruitful and
productive ones. I serve a fair master, who provides me with sufficient
quantities of gold and other forms of currency to see to all my needs and
keeps me fit, fed and productive. In
exchange for the protection of my master I herald his greatness to the far
corners of the land, and seek buyers of his many goods in order to keep his
treasury laden with gold and silver. I have no mate to share my modest
castle, but fear not for me as that is not as poor a situation as many may
make it to be. Alas, no heirs yet exist to inherit my lands and wealth, and I
have no mongrel to sit beneath my table and gnaw at the bones of my leavings
so there will be no tales of children nor pets on these pages.
Before we venture deeper into my world and interests I wish to thank the
great scribe and practioner of that magic known as HTML, a fair lass known as
Lori, for using her vast knowledge and skills to bring this place to life.
She practices her magic under the eldritch name of Skye and proclaims her
abilities in these matters with a banner of wondrous design on this page.
Thus the adventure begins. This page is now in the infant stage but will soon
be transformed into a wondrous journey through the history, art, castles,
traditions, and arms and armor of medieval Europe. More pages will magically
appear as my webpage world expands to entertain and inform you in my
interests of literature, poetry, antiques, and so many
more. Come back and visit often and see how this place changes and grows over
time.
