I wonder if it was the same "mouthy Laurel" (the Laurel in question referred
to herself that way, so I'm not insulting her) who once told me that
handsewing a new gown in the hall at an event, and explaining to people how I
did it and how I found out how to do it did not count as encouraging the Arts
and Sciences.  Apparently the ONLY WAY(tm) to do that is to enter and to run
Arts and Sciences competitions.  Kingdom level ones.  The local ones I had
been involved with counted for so little that I was told I had no right to
venture an opinion as to whether they were either useful or enjoyable.
