[Artemisia] In defense of those not traveling/playing

[Georgia Foster]

I live in Otherhill.  I must admit that I am only recently back in the game. 
  This was due, in part, to my living situation at the time (no financial 
wherewithal, single mom long before I left the man, no cash flow, four great 
kids to raise, inverted income/bills ratio, no reliable vehicle, working 
three jobs and still not making ends meet, college tuition, books and fees, 
no money).

I am happy to report that, seven years and one divorce later, two of four 
kids are now grown and productive adults, a Bachelor of Science (December 
2002) and a Bachelor of Arts (May 2005 (no, I will NOT be at the Kingdom 
Arts and Sciences Event)), I now have a very cool job that I absolutely 
love, that pays well enough that I can play again.  Believe me ... I intend 
to visit Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and lots of other places in the 
coming year.

During my forced financial hiatus ... my knights' households, and my shire, 
and my kids were my support group and cheering section  (thanks guys ... I 
could not have survived it without you).

The point that I am making, in this long and drawn out tale is ... there may 
be reasons that folks are not playing in Montana.  I am sure that the good 
people of Artemisia do not intentionally snub our kin in the north.  A 
little understanding might go a long way, and my experience with most of the 
SCA is that you folks are among the most understanding in the whole world.

twa pence all
