I suppose it is a fall back to "Do it once and it's new.  Do it twice 
and it sets a prescendence.  Do it three times it is a tradition."  
Maybe we should change the way we think about serving.  I wouldn't 
mind a sign up sheet at the troll, but I don't think it fair to ask 
for volunteers from people who are setting down to feast.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I serve alot at feasts.  I love 
the job.  I try to do it with all the pomp and circumstance required 
of the office.  I wear a period apron (13 c.) and carry my own 
towels over my left shoulder.  And generally if I am not serving at 
an event I am either playing music or cooking.  But that's just my 
thing.
