To be B&B or Not to be B&B
Well, let's see.. what to talk about... I coudl talk about work.. na.... you've all heard that before... I could talk about home... but there's nothing interesting going on there...I could talk about the injustices in the world..but there are so many.. I could talk about Bill Clinton's book.. but honestly... why?
Life is good, things are going well and I've got a decision to make. Gorm and I are considering the Baron and Baroness "thing" down here in Caer Mear. Yep, I know.. we're up against some really stiff competition, and more than likely, we will lose. The other people that I know for sure who are entertaining the idea (Bryce and his Lady) will do a great job and will most likely get the nod because of the great service they do, the fact they're well known and the fact that they have a huge group of people behind them. Those are all positives and not small by any measure.
For my love and I.. well... it's just us. Weh ave friends we can lean on and ask for help, but there is no ready made household ready to jump in and help, we do have support, but it tends to come from the unlikeliest of places and usually from the shadows, which I appreciate more than people realize. I know that should we be chosen, the Barony as a whole wouldn't let us falter, and I appreciate that. We have a fine group of people and they've all pulled together, left the past where it should be, and in the process we've all done some incredible things. That's something to be proud of.
I've been trying to think about why *I* want to do this particular job... What I expect from it. As corny and stupid as it sounds, I want the opportunity to recognize people for their hard work, I want people to feel appreciated and noticed. I want a part in making a person's day. I want the newbie to remember they spoke with Her Excellency at thie first event, I want the "oldster" to know that his service hasn't been forgotten and that he's still revered and respected. I want the opportunity to represent our fine barony, I want to help it SHINE.
When I heard that two people I respect were going to submit themselves for consideration, I came very close to doing the "there's no way we'll get chosen, so why bother"... but then I thought about it. And I realized that while I may not get chosen, running the race is just as important. I'm not a Peer, but one day I hope to be.. and maybe I'll learn something from the experience.
You never know.
So.. with that... Gorm and I are going to officially submit ourselves to be the next Baron and Baroness of Caer Mear...God help us all!
Comments and etc., are, of course, always welcome.. feel free to use the guestbook or send me an email at [email protected] (yep.. it's new.. gmail is awesome!)
I'd be proud to be the Monarch's representative of this group of people. They work hard. They play hard.
Please don't forget to answer my survey... it's research for a small business idea... all comments appreciated, no reasonable offer refused!!! It won't take five minutes, I PROMISE!
