	There was a Laurelate ruling in 1993 (so it might have been 
changed) that Don and Dona (with the ~ over the "n" I think) were 
acceptable terms for lord and lady.  The chief laurel mucky-muck
at the time was in fact an Ansteorran Don, so it wasn't someone
thumbing their noses at the light weapons folk.
	Please note that the ruling may have changed.
	While it still may be legally true according to the Laurelate,
it is certainly outside the social norms of the Kingdom of Ansteorra.
	Maybe you want to consider something Portuguese?

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.
