I think there is a difference in perception between us "Old timers" as
compared to the "Newcomer." Seems to me that, to the newcomer. everything sparkles
and has a euphoric sense of stepping back in time and finding a dream come
true. We, as old timers, go to the event looking for the moment that will do
the same thing for us. Autumn Melees last year, for example. We were fighting
a field battle and I looked up and saw the Queen standing by herself facing a
small contingent of opposing fighters. I ran across the field and fell in
beside her. She acknowledged my presence and we proceeded to carry the fight to
the opposition rather successfully. That was the moment that sparkled for me
during that event. Now please understand that this was not the only good
time during the event, but it was the one moment that transcended all else. I
can think of several others over the past few years that were as exhilarating.
Perhaps it is a matter of maturing in the game we play to the
point we see it differently. Just a thought.

You are so right. It is the moments that count. A gentleman stopping what he
is doing smiling and asking to carry your things for you with all curtesy
