About Me

People keep asking me "Tell me about yourself". I've never been very good at answering that question, but I'll try anyway ...

Gary Halstead is a Business/Systems Analyst/Geek for a small IT consultancy in the Washington, DC area. I'm married to the lovely and talented Cindy. Unsurprisingly, (given the content of this site) I have interests in woodworking and medieval recreation. When not in my shop or at the computer I often dress up in funny clothes and become one of the guys over to the right via the Society for Creative Anachronism. In addition to the medieval and woodworking hobbies, I collect old tools, read, and am a member of the EAIA and MWTCA.	Ranulf of Waterford, OL is a Norman landowner in 13^th Century Ireland with more interest in the manual arts than is appropriate for a gentleman. Ranulf is a retired Baron of Ponte Alto in the Kingdom of Atlantia and is married to the lovely and talented Dame Caitlyn o' Duirnin. Ralph Halstead is a joiner living in Elizabethan York. Ralph steers clear of politics and spends his time in his shop or down at the tavern.
