Gamed out

The Games Tourney is over and -- if I do say so myself -- was a blast. We had just a bit short of 50 people there (which was my dream number) and I think all the games that involved equipment got played (although not all the "people only" games did). I think the biggest success was reminding people that sometimes the simplest concepts are the most enjoyable. We had a nicely shady site, but it did get hot enough that the "whack people with a wet sponge" game was enjoyable. Rolling hoops turned out to be startlingly energetic. And I think my underlying plot to get people playing a wider variety of medieval games spontaneously at events is likely to have results. Tired now. (In this case, from running around in the park all day.)

And when I got home, my federal tax refund was waiting in the mailbox. (Given the timing, this suggests that either they discovered that it had been returned to them, or discovered it hadn't been cashed and were able to cancell it. In any event, it's a relief to get it.)
