</font>I feel that you will see exactly what you LOOK FOR in anything you
do. If you are looking for friends and camaraderie, you will find
it. If you look for offense, you will find it. So, don't

As for me...<br><br>
A) Fight at least once every week, from now on...<br><br>
B) Translate another Chinese poem and memorize it before Squires
and Cadets<br><br>
C) Spend more time at every event serving. Marshal, herald,
give something up for my daughter to do archery, or any of a hundred
other options.<br><br>
D) Write a ballad about an SCA hero or five.<br><br>
In Service,<br>
