guilty as charged :-(

a bunch of folks I know have been discussing this same issue recently and we
all agree that we *want* to do better. We want to camp and eat feast and
just hang around like we used to do in the good old days (back when we
couldn't afford hotels or eating out), and we keep intending to do it at
"the next event" but we're finding that life keeps getting in the way for
many of us, but I know we'll keep trying because it's important ;-)

regards,
Simone - who didn't camp at Bordermarch this past weekend due to aggravated
tendinitis, but hopefully at the next event . . .
