Life is More Entertaining When…
…I have no idea what is going on.
…Sunday afternoon naps are essential for survival.
…Planning for something probably means it isn’t going to happen.
…Not planning for something probably means it is.
…Emergency request e-mails don’t go through, but the prof grants an extension anyway.
So Friday night I got a call from HSLDA indicating that the omnipresent Dulles queues had claimed another victim–the staffer headed for the Anderson, SC homeschool conference. I got the call at 4:15, and by 6 I had begun the four hour drive to the other side of the state.
Despite the fact that it made for an entirely different weekend than I had planned, I enjoyed myself. When you talk to cool people, meet helpful contacts, and get to do something completely unexpected that involves helping people, it’s hard not to.
Of course, when you’re so exhausted that you oversleep, and end up unexpectedly on stage as a part of a quartet around half an hour after flying out of bed–without any coffee, I would note–life gives you a bit of a wake-up call. Actually, I went home after church and went back to bed, so it was much more of a metaphorical wake-up call.
So that was the weekend. Life awaits, and it is definitely more entertaining when…
…Opening Day is upon us.
…Google comes up with stuff like this.
…I reach the same conclusions as Bucky the Katt.

You have saved our lives; we are eternally grateful!!
seriously, though, your reign as conference hero extends into the next century. at least.
(and I always agree with Bucky Katt :-D)
