And then we plunge into Beltane Coronation

hrjin general, I prefer to have everything containerized and ready to go in the car by Thursday evening before an event, but having finished the cooking[*] around 9:30 I decided it would be better to leave clothes packing for the morrow. And besides which (I justified to myself) given the mention of road work in Santa Rosa, chances are if I wait towards the end of rush hour to leave, I probably won't be that much more delayed in my arrival. (And given that I'll be arriving long past dark no matter what, there really isn't any hurry.)
[*] This event's "hope I can snag some random spontaneous dinner guests" menu is:
a chawette (pork pie)
a porridge of peason and worts
a tart of cheese
a pudding of strawberries
a secret item not to be revealed here because it will be the leftovers from my Wooden Spoon competition entry
The last should be amusing -- the competition theme is "Erotic Foods of Turkey" and I suppose that, like the dog walking on its hind legs, the wonder is that it can be done at all (with documentation, that is). But when I was reminded of the theme, my brain pulled out a passage I had run across in one of my books that, at the very least, should make an entertaining presentation. (I just hope ten other people don't work from the same passage.)
Then I get two days back at work and off to Kalamazoo. No word yet from the Toyota dealership on whether they've acquired the model I want to buy. Now that all the relevant funds have made their way into my bank account, I'm starting to itch to get it done. One last tourney-packing in the Ford wagon, then I'll have to work on a new configuration by the next camping event.
