Dragon's Laire Alumni and Returning Family.

.....I was leafing through the Kitsap Herald on Saturday and came across a regular feature entitled, 'Chamber Chat'. It had a picture attached to it of the contributor, Darla Murker. We all know that person in Dragon's Laire by the name of THL Catelin Spenser of Newmarket. Apparently the column is a weekly feature in the Herald. Usually, the Herald goes into the loose paper stack to be used as packing material for circlets. But maybe I'll start actually reading it first. :-) It's not the New York Times, but the writing is a shade better than the Kitsap Sun, which I stopped reading years ago because the editor seems to have left school sometime before graduating elementary school, which is reflected in his editing style and capability. :-)

.....I wish that Catelin would come back and play with us. I miss her. She was quite the dynamic force in the Barony.

.....I received an e-mail from another family member of Dragon's Laire who also hasn't played in a while, Lady Ellainyia Dane. Seems as her divorce is wrapping up this month. Both of her children are out of the house and she is looking to reconnect with the Barony again. I warned her that she will not recognize the group at all, but she seems excited about the possibilities. She will definitely be a good re-edition to the group. She was a lot of fun the last time she played with us.

.....Ellainyia dropped out during the midst of the 'Reign of Terror' (TM) of 'She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named'. Ellainyia was one of her Ladies in Waiting and had a tough time maintaining a sense of neutrality towards the end. It was actually a wonder that she didn't run screaming into the night, never to be heard of again. :-)

.....When she was active last time, Ellainyia put out this booklet, 'A Gentleman's Guide on Dealing With A Lady'. It was actually a pretty good read. :-) I think that I still have my copy somewhere in my files. Inga sold a number of them in her booth, especially at 3YC.

.....I'm looking forward to playing with her again.
