    Why are soap operas called "soap operas"?


    What a crazy, busy week.  A week ago Friday I still was unable to avoid saying something uterly stupid, mentally kicking myself as I said it and watching The Looks of the others as they heard it.   I did a two day Program marathon Sunday and Monday, broken only by mass and some occassional sleep and dozens of phone calls.  The Program team meeting had a lot of negativity.  It was all unfounded and somewhat dissettling for the direction we might go next year for #33.  Do the best you can and you'll earn people's respect.  Don't do (and not do) stuff based upon what other people might think about you.  That's rather immature of folks whose first conventions were before or around the time I was born.  I got slided Tuesday after work by some kids I'd never met before.  They had tried for a half hour to provoke me before I was slided and they ran like cowards.  It was rather pathetic, so I asked the onlookers to pray for my attackers rather than call the cops.  Friday I saw the beginnings of a downward slide in one of my habitually depressed friends, so I'm praying extra hard for him.  I also managed to make my usual stupid comment.  I guess if I'm going to short circuit on Fridays, that's better than what I was experiencing before.  The prayers are definately working.  Saturday the PCFC crew helped me make door signs, much like the ones we made for the first convention I was program director.  I rather wish we had done so for last year, too.  Sunday, we helped a friend move from an apartment to a townhouse before I went to mass.  Tomorrow I hope to mow the lawn before helping her clean up her old apartment.  Oh, and Wednesday I get to go to the hotel to go over the room layouts for the convention.  I'll see y'all on the other side.
