There were no crises today
Jun. 21st, 2002 11:20 pm...although to be fair, today is not technically over. Something horrible could still happen in the next 35 minutes. Our friend C isn't dead, his wife K is still progressing eastward, and things are as good as they're probably going to get right now.
I'm glad today was calm and peaceful, all things considered, because tomorrow is going to be chaotic in the extreme. We'll be at an SCA war all day, with the sun beating down on steel helms (the fighters) and bugs crawling up into our undies (the spectators). I am going because four members of S's clan, including the chief, are squiring. It would be a nice touch to be there as part of the supporting mob, even if I haven't been to an event in about a year. More about that tomorrow, perhaps. Those of you who know me can only be dismayed by the mental picture of me schlepping around in the dirt wearing a long medievalish dress and trying to stave off hypoglycemia and heatstroke while speaking forsoothly. Ah, me...the things we do for love.
