Yeah. I've heard the same thing. Seems I saw someone post a claim on this
list that her non-SCA life is decidedly *not* mundane. Changing old habits
is pretty rough, though. I can't recall; has anyone come up with a
reasonable alternative to "mundane." "Real," as I recollect, is right out.
>For the record, I rarely use the term "newbie" to describe an individual.
>"This is George, it's his first event" is the kind of thing I use.
An excellent practice, IMOH.
