Went to the kingdom heralds symposium this weekend. We expected a small event; it was being held in a small shire in British Columbia. It was smaller than expected as there were several cancellations (including Black Lion who had mandatory job foo sprung on her for this weekend); six people, all teachers (ETA: four teachers and two others), showed up. So we reconfigured our plans to paw books and gape at heraldic pictures from England and France.

That's not what we travelled eight hours for. Should have been six, but Juliana and I missed the turn in the Google directions (directions with no town names). It was a pleasant drive through Okanagan wine country -- and we brought some home.

The consult table is my job right now, and I do go all over the place for it (last summer I went 14 hours northeast of home and 11 hours southwest of home, all within the kingdom). But I prefer to do it not in some small shire, where fewer than 20 people are there to get help. On the other hand, we did consults for nine people, which is a halfway decent day at a much larger local event.

It was also a bad weekend for me: the end of the break between winter and spring quarters, which means I graded finals the first part of the week and prepped classes the second part. I was also supposed to have sent an article out by yesterday, but I guess it'll be the 15th instead.
