About time?
In this age of modern technology, how many of us truly embrace all these changes? How many of us take for granted all the modern convieniences of our time while at the same time fantasize about the 'romance' of the past? Who the hell cares? Tis an interesting philosophical question and one that could be debated around the dinner table, if such a thing still exists.
But I only set this up to make a comment for a person who is a colleague as part of reality but is showing me that the world of my imagination is not such a silly place to be in after all. That there are other warped souls out there in the real world who can appreciate the intricacies of Shakespeare, the simplicity of Star Wars, wonder as to the reality of Avalon ( no, not the airbase, though I do appreciate the marvel of flight and their machines) and wish that there really was such a place as Pern.
So, here I find myself. Talking to a screen. With no concept as to where this may lead. Is this what Nimue might have felt like when she took on Lancelot as her apprentice? Starting something that she had no idea where it would take her?

Twas the name of your Blog that gave away your identity, fair Lilybee. Let it be said then, as we are talking plainly, that the computer screen is but a medium through which we communicate with the modern world. While many long for the romance of the past, surely there remain those that embrace the ethics and chivalry that form a prerequisite for such courting. We live in time where too many people believe that intermediate steps are not neccesary; throw money at something and it is done. Too often the price is known and the value ignored. Apologies for rambling on your site, not mine!
I despotically pronounce us an official triunvirate, what with the door holding and such. (How do you do. I'm the Lioness.)
(Do you all know each other??? Is this some sort of secret rendez-vouz place for Victorians - or whatever else you are called in bush-lingo? And B., see your readership increasing?)
(Anne McCaffrey is the best, I too long for Pern but what about her other books? Didn't take your fancy?)
