| Introduction | Mort Artu? Yvain? Erect et Enide? Or another, older character, from out of the misty past? The Salty Badger likes everything with a bit of sepia glossed on top, and lives for two days out of the year: Christmas (as nostalgic as they come), and New Year's day (only because everyone sings 'Auld Lang Syne') ..."Sigh." Everything I write here changes daily. It gets so hard to define me. Who am I? I wonder sometimes? |
