Squires

[Mark Harris]

 I feel I have overlooked another aspect of my being a squire.  The others
who flocked to my knight and looked to him for his strength and his kindness
and humor (not much grace however) made me proud to be his squire.  I felt
lucky and honored to have been with him and learned from his manners in
court as well on the field.  Field civility, curtesy, and honor is a good
thing, but that HAS to extend to court and social functions and those who
are not fighters

(and those who are not even SCA) also.  I have noted that
this is not always the case.

Your comment above reminded me of this message, so I thought I'd
send it to you so you could see it too.

I could be wrong here, but I think they moved him to the defensive
line.

Chivalry-isn't-dead story:  remember that Super Bowl where it came
down to a field goal, and the Bills kicker missed it by *that* much,
thereby losing the championship for the Bills?  Can you imagine how
*awful* that placekicker must have felt?  Can you imagine how ungenerous
the rest of the team must have felt towards him?  Did anyone besides me
and Selene Colfox notice that the first (only?) guy to reach the kicker
and give him a "That's-OK-there's-always-next-year" squeeze was Earl
Sir Glen?

Sometimes prouder to be a Caidan than other times,
