Sigh.  My hair WAS up...just not enough

Just on one side...I'll be a touch lop-sided for a year or two until it grows out,
but I have enough hair that it's not really visible.  Or, as I said to all and
sundry, "No damage, except to my pride."

About ten minutes before I lit my hair on fire, I was assuring Liadan that I would
NOT spill a plate of beef onto His Majesty (the vegetarian.)  Well, I
didn't...Seriously, though, is there any efficient method for organizing
inexperienced servers (at the moment I have two lined up, which is two more then I
expected to have in advance), that preserves both the ceremony and the integrity of
the feast?

> And at the very least make sure the servers know what the dishes are

We're having a herald announce the courses...it's a pet peeve of the local
chatelaine, and she's taken it upon herself to do something about it.  (yeah!)

Yours,
Alethea
