+ lovely non-rainy Friday afternoon
+ light, largely unnoticeable evening rain
+ 60 sign-ins by midnight
+ all those deluges that missed the site on Saturday
+ three warm meals on Saturday
- hearing that people didn't know how to take a little and leave some for others at breakfast
+ barefoot newbies trenching in the rain... soaking wet and grinning ear to ear
- four out of five games ending up rained out
+ seeing folks get into preparing for the relic quest
- having no clue how the relic quest went over
- letting myself be goaded into loosing my cool over general rudeness
- getting randomly stung by a yellow-jacket
+ not being terribly sensitive to yellow-jackets
- bumbling through court doped up on Benadryl
- catching myself dropping f-bombs more than once
- having to supply my own meat for dinner
+ being treated to special (dairy free, soy free, wheat free, low-sugar) chocolate ice-cream

+ having my arse so gracefully covered
