I should update more often.

I mean, once a month, really?

Anyhow, the highlight of the last few weeks was Fall Coronation, held in southern Maryland. I decided to camp over the weekend because I would be performing with the Laydes Fayre singing group in the morning and I didn't want to worry about traffic. I also didn't have to worry about futzing with my tent, because my friend Nellie from the dance group let me stay in her tent. We even carpooled together. I had a grand time, especially playing in the band for the dancing, and I received two roses and a small ceramic cup from our new Queen for my efforts.

Of course, while I was blissfully playing with the SCA instead of hanging around online, I didn't notice until I got home that Hamas had attacked Israel. Why does the world blow up when I'm having fun with the SCA?

When world tragedy strikes it somehow makes one feel like... not doing anything that isn't totally serious. As though having fun makes it worse, or like you don't care. But we still have to carry on.
