Extra Vacation

[hrj]

So I get to take an unanticipated vacation day tomorrow, courtesy of United Airlines canceling my flight today. (Not their fault, really -- evidently weather kept the plane in Chicago last night.) Since the Big B has been encouraging us to use up vacation days, there won't be any complaints on that end. And, in the grand scheme of things, there are worse ways to spend a vacation day than hanging out in a free hotel room with books, movie channels, and free internet (although the wireless network sucks seriously).

Atlantian 12th/13th/14th Night during the blizzard of 1996... the hotel ran out of bread, and ran out of the ingredients to make more. At which point the SCAdians went back to their hotel rooms and brought out flour and yeast, and made bread.

This was the same group that, on Sunday evening, took over the kitchen (because the staff had been there since noon on Saturday) and cooked for the entire dinner shift. (Her Majesty mopped the floor afterwards.)
