There was a wonderful time to be had at the Medieval Fair in Norman today with enough heavenly food being prepared that I didn't even need to eat to get full.  Nevertheless, I left with the feeling that a whole lot of vendors had turned aside because of the local weather personnel were predicting more rain.  I've been pretty disgusted myself.  We've had some high winds, rain and hail, and all of it vicious up there on my roof.

Slabs Of Steel

For compensation's sake there were some new skits with some very professional performers making them greater.  This one, for example, had a agile young woman climb into a box then sixteen slabs of steel were rammed through the box while SYT (An Acronym for Sweet Young Thing) made double-jointed contortions you had to imagine to be seen.  But most of the fun came before her partner got her into the box.  What would it take to induce her into that box?  Well, she wanted the hand of a good man in marriage if she came out alive.  The man she picked very definitely did not look like a willing participant but eventually he was prevailed upon by the audience to settle the SYT into the box.

I heard two Cherokee women watching this one from a safe distance and the one in front said to the other.. "It's a good thing that we left the kids at home."  But for me, the banter was top notch -- until the guy beside me began explaining just how the stunt was pulled.

Hey, leave me to my fantasies.

Meanwhile, I also noticed that kids and dogs outnumbered all of the adults, but although many of the dogs did run wild, none of the children did.  Many of the people you run into at the fair are dressed in medieval style but are visitors there just like you and me.It's kind of like a giant Easter Parade, e-mail like where Judy Garland does all of her strolling.

The one thing all writers have in common is a fascination with other people. When someone stops in front of me I want to know why I want to know how fast they made the decision to stop. why did someone see that before I did, that's my question.
