Guilt

[msmemory_archive]

I feel guilty that I don't feel bad about skipping the Canada trip this weekend. (Overachievers R Us, I guess.)

I have had two instances of standing around in cold rain, which might turn to snow, for Canadian Crown Tournaments. It's jducoeur's turn. There will be rain here, but I will not be standing around in wet skirts and wet boots and a wet hood.

I feel guilty about not being there this weekend, even though it's due to mundane work issues. I think as long as one Pelican is feeling guilty, the rest should be absolved. ;-)

On the other hand, since I do get a whole one day off this week, I scored tix for American Idiot on Broadway on Saturday.

Sunday is May Day here, and I will mosey over there and watch the tourney and the tug-o-war and get my spring sunburn.

Ah, May Day. I vividly recall the year that Fergus was the Green Man.

Were you around the year Rick was the Green Man?

Jealous! The boy and I are still trying to figure out when we have a free Saturday to see it!

I'm set for text-message reporting from the front lines, so I'm good. ;-D

So you're sending *him* to stand around in the skirts, instead?

Wait, you feel guilty for not feeling guilty? That must be how you become a Tyger of the East ;)

Stay warm and dry, and enjoy your weekend!

We are a strange and peculiar people. ;-)

Quoth the Tyger, "Rarr! I am a Tyger of the East. I rip you to shreds in defense of my kingdom. I don't feel bad about it because it was necessary, but I feel bad about not feeling bad about it because if I'd thought an extra 17 moves ahead perhaps I could have avoided ripping you to shreds in the first place."

I'm feeling guilty for going, for taking our 1 1/2 year old son to stand around in weather like that predicted. If I were not a consort and had not booked a hotel for the event, I think we would reconsider attending so that I would not feel like a bad mother.

You should certainly not feel guilty about choosing a sunny, low-pressure, local event over a freezing cold rainy, distant event with royalty, even if they are our friends.

O Tempora! O Mores! Back when I was a young'un and Kingdoms took days to cross.....

An ancient quote from a former Scadian:

I know what fun is. I've had fun. This doesn't resemble it at all.

Wet Crown

My 20 year old cloak managed to bleed red/pink onto my white linen veil and garb. Luckily, a good soak is washing it back out again.
