Second Pride: Continued Trials and Tribulations (Edited)

This is probably old news for many of you, but as I have failed to report on it earlier I am doing so now.

Andy Long

Jagger Naughton

Last week we saw new changes on the Second Pride board as the board approved the resignations of Co-Chair Andy Long and IT Director Jagger Naughton. Both resignations cited "personal reasons" for this move.

Merrick Genesis

World Undercroft

At the same meeting two other board members, the Events Director Merrick Genesis and the Marketing Director World Undercroft, positions were discussed for "failure to attend meetings for three consecutive sessions without prior permission from the Chairman of the Board". Further discussion will take place at the next meeting when the board may also decide to release them from their positions.

Baz Ceawlin

The board also appointed Baz Ceawlin as new IT Director. As he has previously been a reliable board member we should be hopeful that he will stick with it until the next election.

After this "annus horibilis" with all the coming and going of members of the board, the Second Pride board now, apart from Baz, Merrick and World, consist of these reliable and stalwart people who will hopefully stay with us trough the fast approaching Second Pride festival period.

Petr Hastings Vanbeek, Chairman
a.k.a. "Big Daddy"

Marge Beaumont, Treasurer
a.k.a. "No Nonsense Marge"

Sutry Long, Security Director
a.k.a. "Sutry the Strong"

Karl Kalchek, Community Relations Director
a.k.a. "The Little Helper"

Jak Calcutt, Build Director
a.k.a. "The Best Little Hugger in SecondLife" & "Master Builder Extraordinaire"

P.S. I have corrected this post after receiving some feedback from members of the board.

The Laird Approves

The message above was posted on Garrett Smith's timeline on Facebook yesterday. It should be a warning to you all on what poking can lead to.

I am the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment Region and Outer Territories and finally UN appointed Protector of the Solace Island and Mount Whitney sims in SecondLife.

As the father of Crown Prince Guyke, Prince of Paradijs, I approve the message.

Regular Blogging Is Resumed

The editor in chief of Bock in SecondLife begs his faithful readers indulgence and thanks them for their continued patience and support.

Nothing bad been going on, I have just been too happy and complacent. Perhaps I have also had a spell of spring tiredness, which has lead me to overthink my blogging too much instead of just doing it.

I felt that I was not at my best or passionate enough in my blogging if I wasn't angry, sad or desperate, but that self-doubt has passed now. I have come to realize that I need the blog to think things through and process events in both my lives even when I am feeling good.

So whether you like it or not, I am here for a while longer to share my not-so-profound insights, thoughts and wisdom with the world.
