1. Welcome to[info]whildbill

 .

2. I always say, “Go ahead and publicize my photos,” but I have to admit that I was rather stunned to see an entry on SCA Today about “Liam St. Liam’s photos of East Kingdom 12th Night.” I had no clue they were going to post. At least, I do not think I did. Yes, I did drop them a note.

 

3. I almost never get text messages. I do not know how to send them. [info]firerosearien   does, I now I know A-Rod has admitted steroid use and will be on ESPN tonight at 6.

 

4. Good work day today. Most of the day, industrious Liam has been industrious.

 

5. I was going to listen to NPR while I was industrious, but I noticed a serious lack of new stories on the web site today. I think the cuts are settling in.

 

6. Speaking of NPR, I have not listened to WAMC in Albany since last week, when the only voice on there was Alan Chartok shilling for Pledge Week. I hate his voice when he’s doing political commentary, but begging, pleading, cajoling and being semi-rude to the folks taking calls is just too much for me. Fortunately, we can get not only North Country Radio, but Vermont Public Radio as well.

 

7. Mom's old waffle iron works! Yesterday, [info]alethea_eastrid  got four waffles, each with a big circle of whipped cream and a small handful of blueberries on them – all stacked together.

OK, discussion time.

I have been enjoying the discussion on EK List this week. It's really been remarkable in quality and (mostly) lack of tone.

But as I wrote and read, I began to wonder if I had a deep-seated prejudice.

At one point, in writing about increasing participation in university events, I suggested that we have a tourney/event and that knights and others who teach fighting urge their squires/students to take classes before the fighting.

I was thinking that many of us have the "stick-jock mentality" idea that somehow just coming to events to fight, then leaving, is a bad thing (tm).

Maybe it's me, but I think it's a lot more common.

What does someone in the SCA owe to the local group/kingdom/society beyond paying the gate fee and doing his or her thing?
