I didn't ever think my husband and I would serva as baron and baroness either, but Real Life happened to some other people and when the then current B & B asked us if we would serve, we said yes. It was both rewarding and demanding; at the end of the term, now almost five years ago, I had to say that I was glad we'd done it and I was glad it was DONE. BTW, if you've ever heard the story about the baron and baroness who had someone "almost cut their thumb off" with a katana during the investiture, that was us and the injury wasn't really that serious, although the gentleman did have to go to the ER and get several stitches in his hand.
