[Ansteorra] "We know you're wishin' that we'd go awaaaayyy..."

[Carolyn Young]

I certainly don't feel 'picked on'.  Mundanely, I'm over 60; SCA I'm a 4th 
century Celt.  It's been a loooong time since my studies of the 15th and 
16th centuries and Caitlin doesn't often look that far into the 'future'. 
So, all you later period devotees, continue to educate us Barbarians.

Cheers,
HL Caitlin, Carolyn, Lyn, Mom, Grandma
