Hello:
"and the inactive will become active..." (some quote of someone, somewhere)
I have finally returned from extended leave in raising children and extending career to take tentative steps back into Talossa. I thought I would start by saying hello to those in my province. Hello to those in my province. Please realize that I am like a voice from the dead. I have no idea of current topics, culture or even manners that are current both in the province or the in the country as a whole. I would appreciate any advice and suggestions that you may have, but remember this, I got into this oh so many years ago for the fun, not the fanatics. You'll be seeing me pop up all over the place, as long as I can stay awake.
Yours, John McGarry

John! You're back!!!!!!!! Hooray! Just to get you up on what's been happening in Vuode:
Viteu (another Vuodean) and I are preparing to create a more stable more workable form of government for Vuode, and in your capacity as Cunstavál you will be essential!
Sir Trotxâ is our senator, and Maureen O'Hara is our Premier (though we've never heard of her). Welcome back from all of us!
Oh, and there's an election coming up next week where the LRT is going to sweep the RUMP into the gutter ;D

John McGarry! Welcome back, S:reu Cunstavál! As Dreu said, you're just in time to get a handle on your upstart fellow Vuodeans, whose Votes For Men campaign has succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
(Of course, political prognoses offered by S:reu Gavárþic'h can't be trusted nearly as much.)
Welcome back to the fanatic-free fun.

I have finally returned from extended leave in raising children and extending career to take tentative steps back into Talossa. I thought I would start by saying hello to those in my province. Hello to those in my province.
Yours, John McGarry Welcome back John! The better quote would be, "Not all who wander are lost!" The Men of Vuode welcome you to our ranks. Now that we've fought hard to get the vote, we can use your help to aid in continuing our freedom. Did you bring any dandelions with you? For my fellow citizens - this is indeed a momentous day. Here is a clip of S:reu McGarry's biography from the "Senescháls del Regipäts Talossán" page. 18) John F. McGarry (Progressive Conservative Party) 27 March- 15 September 1995
The "irreverent Irishman," John McGarry, was born in Pennsylvania on 7 May and is the father of two children, both of whom are "Dandelions" or native-born Talossans. He currently works as a speech therapist in Dover, Delaware.
In the waning days of the Schwichtenberg government, McGarry campaigned hard to become the PC's candidate for Prime Minister, sending out leaflets advertising himself as the party's inspiring new leader for the future.
The PC leadership eagerly endorsed McGarry's call for a PC revival, and enthusiastically fronted him as their candidate in the February, 1995 General Election. So nice to meet you! I'm sure the College of Arms will be ready to assist you with creating an achievement of arms for you. A long-time Talossan such as yourself should have them. Sir Trotxâ Betiñéir, Candidate for Senats from Vuode. UPDATE: fixed a formatting error.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. I appreciate them all. A few words of warning. I have never been all that fluent in Talossan. I guess I've never assimilated all that well. So please go easy on the language references. In fact, Dru what exactly does "your capacity as Cunstavál you will be essential!" mean? Also, thank you very much to Sir Trotxâ Betiñéir for NOT mentioning how my term as PM ended (I do have a historical first). Thanks!!

John It means that you will act like the king, essentially you will be able to veto bills, etc. except just for our province! And I mean, who wouldn't want to be King of Vuode?

And I mean, who wouldn't want to be King of Vuode? ;D Wow, I guess that's like winning the lottery. No, I guess it's more like finding out you have some important uncle that's left you the English manor house, his title and his staff...Where do I begin? he he he John

Yes, S:reu McGarry, I guess you don't remember when I appointed you Constable of your great province, back when I served as Acting Prime Minister during the hospitalisation of Sir Fritz. You did accept the appointment, though, as I recall. As the provinces get up and running (yours is one of the more energetic) it will indeed be nice to have a Constable who is active, and it is so excellent to see your return to Talossa. Your timing is impeccable! Hooligan

We wait until the "Provincial Unshackling Act" is passed by referendum and then we spring into action forming courts, making laws, developing a stable government!
