More questions answered . . .

A couple more:

Keep 'em coming  . . . .

As posed by peregrinning
1. From here, it looks like your time as Majordomo to the Princess is busy, but not overly stressful. How would   you describe the type and scope of stress you are dealing with that you  aren't telling us about, if there is any stress?

Honestly, the hard part is not saying "we." It is not my reign. I am a supporting actor.

A lot of it is e-mail, and I do a lot of that anyway.

Organization is hard!

There is always SCA politics, but I dealt with that before this, and I will deal afterward.

2. What is your favorite accomplishment?

Helping my students win three Outstanding Service Project Awards for National Honor Society.

3. What is your favorite creation?

You know this: theresat and evilnicola.

4. In what location do  you feel most relaxed and happy?

5. You can attend the final championship  game/series of a stunningly good season by any two sports teams, unlimited by the vagaries of leagues, conferences, locations, etc.; what two teams would they be, and where would they play?

2008 World Series. Red Sox vs. Cubs at Wrigley. Game 7: Jon Lester vs. Carlos Zambrano.

(In my mind, I am bound by leagues and reality) ;)

1. Knowing how much you enjoyed teaching, are you going to try and return  to school in your new location?

I just opened the envelope containing my New York state teaching certificate. I have already set up several applications. Yes, I do.

2. I know how big a sports fan you are...how do you feel about the huge  salaries many athletes are paid?

They should be paid better than you and I, because their earning potential is limited to, say 20-25 years rather than 40 or so. But . . . if clubs were not making huge profits, salaries -- and tickets -- would be lower.

3. I've heard of this happening so I wondered, following the results of  Crown, do you ever worry about false friendships - people trying to   befriend you for ulterior motives?

Me? I know everyone already. ;) I am an open book. I will talk to anyone.

I have seen it happen even before Crown is over, with people gravitating to the leader contenders' ladies.

It does happen.

 4. If you could befriend someone famous (alive only) who would it be and  why?

That is a fascinating and very hard question.

Heather Dale, I think. She's so cool in so many ways.

  5. If you could offer me a piece of advice (as a parent, as an East  Kingdom peer, as a friend, your choice) what would it be?

Be the one who starts the healing.

Monday evening: Big day in the North Country

1. The state of New York now recognizes me as a certified Social Studies teacher. Yay! Applied for several jobs already.

2. There is an air conditioner on the living room table! alethea_eastrid is the tool-user, and she is out fencing.

3. We are registered for Pennsic! We will be camping in McGuire's Marauders on the Serengeti.

4. Welcome to early June: At 5 tomorrow morning, the forecast is 67 degrees, 90 percent humidity and sunny! Oh, our house thermometer hit a new high of 100.2 today. It is in the shade. ;) All-time low, I think, was -11.8.

5. It was so hot this afternoon that I pulled a frozen towel out of the fridge and draped it in various places with no shivering.
