[Sca-cooks] Me and the SCA

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

well just remember that as you get further away from some of your friends,
you get closer to others.....
stay in touch, and let us know if we can help.

He has been diagnosed with terminal, untreatable lung cancer,  But is still
in relatively good health.  We are traveling back to his hometown, Columbus,
Ga, on a long, slow trip, while he is still able to travel.

probably won't be as active there for a while as I am here.  I do plan,
tentavely, to attend Estrella next year, and Pennsic next year, as well.
> I am quite aware that I will need to take care of myself so I can take
care of Daddy, and Mama.  Taking care of me means having a social outlet
occasionally.
> We will be living with a couple of my cousins, who are more like sisters,
so I won't be carrying the burden all alone, and will have "babysitters" for
the occasional night out.
