After a very hard fought tee-ball game today our team remained in the third place position. Final score was 20-16. I frankly am glad that it is over. But, I am looking forward to next year. :-)

I might have done something today that may turn into a mistake, or it could lead to some great adventures. I accepted a position as the "Minister of the Mint" for the principality of Cynagua. That is SCA speak for the person who oversees the making of coins for Northern California. What worries me is that the position is a bit coveted and it could turn into a political maelstrom. Master Emmrick, the head of the moniers guild, asked me to do it because I am the only one he really trusts fully. Besides, I'm also the only guy around that can do all the work needed to be done and is reliable. The position could be fun because it will get me back into the SCA and doing something that I love. Also, it means a promotion within the guild for me. I've been a journeyman for 10 years or more.

In other news... my wife is in for a big surprise tonight. While she was at work I got my hands on a rototiller and dug up the entire garden area in the back yard. She has been procrastinating about planting a garden because the area needed a tilling in a bad way. NOW SHE HAS NO EXCUSE!!! Granted, it's a bit late in the year but something fast growing could still be planted.

Fresh veggies... here I come!! :-)
