ales and Recollections

ne of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to me occurred at a Novice Tourney in Drakken Leira, which we refer to now only as the Novice Tourney from Hell. After various events that will no doubt be mentioned elsewhere, I had the privilege of running a Tea for Her Highness, Queen Arianrhod. She walked into the feast hall with the sun at her back, a golden nimbus surrounding her. At her side walked a magnificent German Shepherd, who -- you guessed it -- squatted RIGHT in front of the circle of ladies & gentlemen who were all choking while trying NOT to laugh . . .
