Going Medieval in Oriole Country

'Ello!

So the lack of posts this weekend has nothing to do with me getting bored or forgetting or anything like that, but, instead, me going down to Maryland to pretend I lived 500 years ago!

My friend, Marielle, and I drove on Friday from Syracuse down to Annapolis--six hours, non-stop, the longest I've ever been behind the wheel of a car. It's an easy drive, though, there are really only two roads--81 and 83, so though it was long it wasn't very hard.

Anyway, we stayed with my cousin, had a wonderful dinner, and then, on Saturday, went and played medieval.

See?

Waving a sword around.

That wasn't the sword I bought, though. This was:


It's actually sharp enough to cut through a car hood.

Anyway, we were supposed to get back last night, but we didn't leave the Fair until about eight, and after stopping for dinner, it was about eleven, so we figured getting back at Syracuse at 5 AM isn't really the greatest idea.

Of course, I saw nothing of Cleveland/Boston yesterday, but I know that Boston won, and, well, I did say Cleveland in seven, because the AL has to make everything interesting.

Update 2 of The Season shortly heading your way.
