SC - OT - personal aside

Margarite,
When I met you, your body shape was the last thing I noticed... it was your warm 
smile and twinkling eyes I noticed first.  Then I saw Bear... well, in close 
proximity, he sorta makes you look petite.  But forget all that - it was Bear's 
gift of Almond Bread (I know he didn't call it that, but I forgot the name) to a 
nameless newbie, limping around on crutches, that made a permanent place in my 
heart for the two of you.  Because of your support, I'm finally getting the 
courage to test the feastcrat waters.  I'm bidding NR Warlord (I really hope 
they decide to go somewhere else but Dukani) and Mooneschadowe Guardian in 
September. So, another innocent youth corrupted into volunteering to do a feast!
Will you be at the Mead Bee Wars?  I'm planning to be there and bring my first 
solity (sp?).  You know, the edible centerpiece thingy we keep talking about on 
the list from time to time, the name of which I can never remember how to spell, 
because I slept last night and that brain cell gave up the ghost! 
Sorry to waste bandwidth, but they upgraded my lotus notes and lost my address 
book - again.
Liadnan - PS. please don't tell me if you don't remember me. I don't think I've 
made another event you both attended since.
