a few things you should know
So, I’ve been on a bit of a blogging sabbatical, and not by my own choosing! Every day, since my last post on March 6, I have wanted to write and share any number of random thoughts with you. Time has not allowed, for reasons I’m about to divulge, so now you must withstand the deluge!
First, and this is big so you better sit down, it’s looking like Messiah is going to host all three presidential candidates for a Faith in Public Life-sponsored event called The Compassion Forum. It’s an exciting opportunity for the College and for me professionally. This event, which will bring not only the candidates and their entourages, but more than 500 journalists, will keep me quite busy for the next month or so. Worry not though, I’m up for the challenge! Bring on the caffeine!
Secondly, many of you have admitted that you’ve lost sleep over the unfinished business of the four pounds of bubblegum. Well, worry no further. Check it out:
The youth were very creative with their gum sculptures, don’t you agree? Jeff and I have been planning games and lessons for Wednesday nights the past few weeks while our fearless leader recovers from knee surgery. We’ve had fun, but I think we’re both ready to be relieved of our responsibilities for awhile.
Third, some of you will be intrigued to know that my dear husband has started a blog! His entries will focus mostly on his training and running schedule, but you’ll find that he has a quirky sense of humor that pervades some of his entries. Check him out at another mile.
The fourth thing you should know is that I’m zipping right through “War and Peace” these days. Because my mind is spinning with so many work-related details, the greatest novel of all time is my way of shutting down thoughts of candidates, tickets, branding, and broadband for happier thoughts of…well, you know: war and peace. Jeff is falling further behind; at last night’s count he was more than 70 pages behind me.
Finally, I have a confession to make. I have a new favorite television show. And, it’s on Fox. It will only be my favorite show until “Deadliest Catch” comes back with a new season in late April. But, for now, I’m getting my jollies watching “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.” It’s a shame I can’t carry a tune because I think I might kick some tush on that show!
It’s good to be back in touch with you, whoever you are. Peace out.
i was just relieved to read that that is bubble gum - because it looks like piles of raw ground chuck. which made me feel a little queasy.
remember - i’m ready to stand in as a double, should the need arise.
