Squinting at the sky

[hrj]

I'd already decided sometime earlier this week that I wasn't going to camp at Crown Tourney this weekend. I found myself thinking, "Gee, well I really ought to camp ... I mean, I've only camped at March Crown and A&S so far this year ... I suppose I should get my act together ...." and then I gave myself a good mental whack upside the head and said, "Why in the world should I do anything I'm feeling this unexcited about? Day-trip it is." And now I'm looking at the rain coming down; thinking about the drive down past Hollister for a day-trip; contemplating doing the "event with no stuff and no home base" in the rain; considering that one of the specific errands I had is right out (returning my Laurel scroll to the scribes for completion of sigs and seals -- no way am I carting it around in the wet if not necessary, I love it too much for that). And I think I'm just going to blow off Crown entirely. I need some unscheduled weekend time. I have a stack of boxes in my front entryway from IKEA that need to be turned into a new bed. I have a Collegium class to prepare for next weekend (an event I'm always more excited about than any Crown Tourney). Memo: must start energetic shilling for Collegium on the West list starting Monday.
