I like that one. ;-D

Last weekend, we had a Head Cook (Morwyn), a Marshall of the Hall (yours
truly) and an Event Steward (Leah). We're still working on dropping the
"-crat" stuff, but it takes time. The Crat stuff was a made-up thing in the
first place, with no historical meaning whatsoever, and just grew like
Topsy. I much prefer using more appropriate period terms. But then we have
already identified me as strange. :-D)
