SC - That wonderful Edwardian house in Colorado

[Micaylah]

Hi, all!

One thing we always need to bear in mind when dealing with Al Sayyid A'aql
(Ras) is that he greatly admires Thomas Jefferson. Most of the time I'm in
agreement with both of these fine gentlemen ;  ) .

One of the truly greatest moments in my time in the SCA was when I was
arranging to attend an Interkingdom Cooks' Collegium in the Shire of Stierbach,
in Atlantia, some years ago. I volunteered to teach a course on safe food
handling, and the autocrat was quite apologetic. He said that he had already
had two previous volunteers for that material, and asked if I'd I either like
to teach something else or have him ask one of the other teachers to teach
something else. He couldn't understand how thrilled I was to hear someone else
was teaching the material, and would be thrilled to teach something else.

The autocrat went on to say very few people used to teach the material before
an article on the subject appeared in T.I. a year or two previous, written by
some guy with an odd Roman-sounding name...and then lots of people were
teaching it.

Rather gratifying, if I say so myself.
