Morning update

Today's breadcrumb is about Jacob's desire to continually place the younger son before the elder.

Yesterday was pretty good, all things considered. I went to karate, which is always good. We nearly had a very difficult class, as the lowest belts there were orange, but at the last minute a brand-new white belt came in and spared us the rigors of an advanced-level workout. Phew. I also somehow managed to bruise my foot, trying to do a move that I don't really know how to do yet. Le sigh.

In other news, I've been taking advantage of my newfound LJ storage space to begin uploading my pictures from the Europe trip. I've got about 9 days (out of the 6 weeks total) uploaded so far, but I'm waiting until I've got them all done before I link to them.

Today: some brief lesson planning (I've actually got 2 lessons pre-planned for this class, so it's just a matter of printing things out), continue uploading pictures and userpics, teaching, SCA moot tonight. TTFN!

Somehow, I'm on curia again

Tonight, at the SCA, we had one of our quarterly moots. For the non-SCA among my readers, this essentially means we had a general meeting, where stuff of various importance got discussed.

Among the various objects up for discussion was the stepping-down of several officers. One of the officers stepping down was Domenego, the guy who took over the office of A&S Minister after I vacated it last year before moving to Toronto. Though he'd put out the announcement several weeks ago, no one had offered to replace him.

So there I was, at the moot, when this issue was raised. No one else was taking the position, so I finally said, "well, if no one else wants it, I suppose I can do it again." Within 15 seconds, I was elected the new A&S Minister.

What does this mean in practical terms?:
- I have to go to the monthly officer meetings
- I need to write quarterly reports to our regional officer (joane)
- I should promote A&S within the Barony

This last point can be interpreted very loosely. It can mean anything from posting stuff on the email list, to hosting semi-regular A&S nights, to finding people help with projects. It can mean coordinating baronial regalia, running or overseeing A&S competitions, and starting or maintaining a baronial cache of resources. It can mean, essentially, anything I want it to. How this will play out in practice, only time will tell.

Right now, I'm going to consult with Domenego and figure out what's already happening and what needs doing. From there, we shall see.

Someone remind me why I'm doing this again?
