Much as I hate me-too posts -- ME TOO! Huzzah and all that, well done! If you
bend too close to the cooking spinnages you will have Green Sleeves, all my joy!

Aye, sigh. But you know, I'd much rather be one of those than "ewww, why did
they give it her HER of all people..." and I'd rather be a has-been to a
never-was.

Guilty as charged, and Yes, it's fun! I once entered the Caid Pentathalon in
five different arts I had not tried before. No cooking at all! I made a banner
[which was later stolen from in front of my house, goodness knows why?], read
poetry aloud [I have crippling stage fright], built an Irish targe shield, some
other stuff I had not done before. Took second place in a couple of them. I
like a challenge. I had a Laurel come up to me and say he never would have done
something like that, and he meant it as a compliment. That made my day.
Dare to Dabble!
