dreamflowerWell, here I am in the wee hours, on the computer again. You'd have thought as tired as I was, I'd have slept all the way throught tonight. I was up at 4:30 yesterday on purpose, so that I could drive to the SCA event and be there in time to teach my calligraphy class.
I didn't realize it until I got to thinking--this was my first event *all year*! Our group's event was postponed due to Ivan, and I couldn't make the rain date, and other events within driving distance have conflicted with work or family.
It was a lot of fun. I had 7 people take my class. I took a couple of other hands on classes myself, and spent a lot of time just watching. I missed most of the combat, but I finally got to see the hound coursing, which is beginning to get popular, but I had never watched before. And I got to talk to a lot of friends that I haven't seen in ages, and meet a few new ones. We had a brief, informal Baronial court, and then an incredible 4 course feast. My only regret was that by the time the dancing started, I was too tired to take part. I watched for a couple of dances, and then headed home.
Exhausted. But I'm *still* awake now. Oh well.
