Thank you, Palikar. I'm thinking it is too bad we weren't born in the days when plundering and pillaging neighboring villages was popular. I would like to have been remembered for that.
You know, as in afterwards hoist a few tankards of mead and scorn some barmaids... before I settled down to marry my Bubbalin'... that is.
Probably have some wicked scars, and a few stories to tell, as time allows.
Oh, well. Such is life.
I am very happy today, thanks.
