A story! A story!

[Kim.Salazar@em.doe.gov]

     To my fellow Cheapsiders,
     
     I look around this tavern and see all too many of us engaged in 
     heated, serious discussion, making this a very un-Merry Rose.
     
     I'm sitting over on the other side of the room, alone with my 
     embroidery, a warm fire, and rather a large quantity of fine ale.  
     
     I would be delighted to share this virtual ale with anyone interested 
     in telling a good story, singing a song, or declaiming a poem.  I 
     would love to hear a tale of the elder days, a piece of bardic 
     nonsense, or a bit of high adventure (true or not).
     
     Please!  I call to you.  Join me in a simple delight.
     
     -Ianthe
