My honey is The Honourable Lord Jared Alexandre Blaydeaux.  Oh by the 
way, everyone else, the West Kingdom team won.  Countess Berengaria de 
Montfort had a crisis situation;  shortly after she got on the freeway, 
the back of her pickup truck opened up and apparently the basket with 
her cookery books and spices escaped.  Anahita to the rescue!  She had 
many of the same volumes or their equivalent or better.  I'll be wanting 
to get Bera new copies of Thousand Eggs for Twelfthnight though [shhh 
don't tell her!]

Caidan team captain Aeddie is my protege and I'm quite proud of him;  he 
went into this with a Have Fun attitude, unlike some of the previous IC 
competitors who were fixated on Winning.  The point spread was quite 
narrow, 69-60 so no shame there.  

Huette is the sweetest thing isn't she?  Not exactly normal, but I 
admire that in a person.  She was our "Madame Kishi," the Caidan 
equivalent of the TV version's food critic, who knows all about cuisine 
of all types and pulls no punches.

BTW we have found your knife with the curly handle.  Let me know your 
mailing address offlist and we will ship it asap.

Safe journey,

Selene Colfox
