Mar. 31st, 2025 01:51 pmWe went to Mists Coronet yesterday. We had a pretty good time, mostly sitting and socializing. The wife helped judge the arts competitions, so that was helpful.
I stepped up as Principality exchequer, and I was glad to see that the office medallion had not gotten lost. The then-Prince (2017ish?) thought the office needed more bling and made this. It's a 3" heater shield with a dollar sign, on a heavy ring chain. It is the bling-iest exchequer medallion possible, completely non-period and obnoxious like a rapper medallion, and I love it. I may not wear it again until I step down, but it tickles my sense of humor. The job stuff for the day went pretty easily.
The rest of the Company was dining onsite, but we did not feel inspired and planned to bugger out instead. We stayed in a local hotel overnight because I had to attend the officers' meeting Sunday morning - which ended up getting rescheduled for a Zoom call due to incoming rain. It was getting very cold and windy, so after helping our hosts break down their sunshade we were happy that we weren't staying. We drove to the hotel, changed, and ended up at a local Mexican restaurant for dinner. Pretty good birria tacos.
We took our time leaving Sunday since we didn't have any obligations. We were still pretty drained and honestly, I am glad we didn't have to make the two-hour drive home Saturday night.
