Getting to know our fellow Jedi.

Well, Leda sounds like a Mom that's lots of fun.

I am somewhere between eccentric (maybe "artsy") and a "proper" traditional Southern belle. My Mom keeps trying to steer me more toward the "proper" without much success. She's still a bit freaked about the fencing so we don't talk about it, and this week I have a wicked-looking bruise on my arm I hope she doesn't see. [She is a wonderful woman, and I do wish I were more like her in a lot of ways -- we are just very different personality-wise.]

I had a chili dog with Dad this week and was telling him about going to Knoxville in June to visit with Pam, and this was the conversation:

So what's in Knoxville?
Well, we're going to sort of an exhibit.
What kind of exhibit?
A SciFi exhibit -- OK, it's like a Star Wars/Star Trek Convention.
They wear costumes?
Yes
Are you going to wear a costume? (I think he knows me... he did see the Jedi pic in my office
Yes, probably
What kind?
Jedi
Where'd you get it?
Made it
Hmmm, OK, sounds like fun.

I used to watch Star Trek with him as a kid. He knows I like this stuff but I don't go over the edge... My mom thinks all of it is over the edge. Oh well....
