I have always had mixed emotions about Scribal Changeover. On the one hand, its time to say goodbye to some or all of the team who have nurtured and helped build their world for at least the past year. On the other, its such a joy to see all the excitement and a chance to work with a new team. This past year, I had the pleasure to work with some of Celtia's brightest - Katlyne MacRoth, Victoria Aedui, and Flidhais Brigantes. With their wicked sense of humor, gracious style and love of all things Celtic and fun, these past years have been a blast.

Now, I am so honored and thrilled to welcome the new guys, Bridgette Cormac, Jacques Elliott Cruithni, and Vortigern Aedui as Celtia's newest team of scribes. Vort is an old hand, having served earlier as one of Celtia's very first scribes and is an old friend of mine from AS. Of course, I just hope that in 5 years I'll still be asking him "Where do you want to be in 5 years" and his answer will still be that he's still here answering that stupid question from me. Bridgette and Jacques have been the gracious host of many a festival and party in the past year and I can only imagine the events they will be hosting and helping members host in the future.

Katlyne, Vixie and Flidhais, you lovely ladies can relax. You are passing the torc to a great team.
