No, afraid I haven't been in the Seattle/Tacoma area for almost 40 years,
although that will likely be changing in the next couple months- I'll be
heading up that way for a week or two to teach a class on Medieval Mongol
cookery ;-)

And, yeah, I get a lot of gender confusion, but I don't worry about it much,
although if any of you want to read my opinions on the whole gender thing, go to:

www.florilegium.org  => Pennsic (in the left column) => Quest-f-Scotch-art
(the link's on the bottom of the right side)

Just do me a favor, if you want to discuss it, post me, don't discuss it on
TheForge ;-)

And, Marilyn is my roommate- since we all live in the same house, we save
money by sharing a server.
