Having grown up with my father in a wheelchair (after he was run over by a
car when he was 11) we learned that *nothing* was impossible!

If you have problems holding weapons - and I understand the pain (vioxx is a
wonderful thing) - didja ever think of combat archery?  I hear it was used
this Pennsic.  Of course, there's always the 'just do everything but heavy
weapons' attitude.

And if you decide not to do fighting....there's *always* time for cast iron
pans and kitchen knives!  Who knows, you may find a lady who will fight for
your honor on the battle field and make you Queen's Consort when she wins
Crown Tourney.

BTW, has anyone used/redacted the recipe from Curye on Inglysh for
Mosserouns Florys?  I made them for an event I cooked for back on 6/9 and by
far this was the most popular food at the event. I cheated a bit and cut a
few corners.  I'll post the redaction later this morning.
