What happens later...

Say, did I happen to mention what's next on my agenda after Blogathon ends in six hours?

Well, there will be the obligatory shower and shave, and MLB whipped up a batch of cinnamon rolls tonight which will become a hot breakfast. And then, off to bed...NOT!

As was the case last year, today happens to be one of the Sundays I'm committed to operating a TV camera during our church service, so I'll be at church from about 9:20 until 10:45 a.m. Assuming I don't keel over and fall off the camera stand, I'll then be able to come home and get some sleep.

So, let's recap, shall we? Up at 7:00 a.m. yesterday morning...until 7:00 this morning...that's 24 hours...then four more, roughly, until nappy time. 28 hours without sleep, I make it.

It's an ugly thought, until placed in the context of $3,000 raised for Midland Fair Havens...and then it's not too bad. Not bad at all.

OK...you said "7 a.m. yesterday until 7 this morning." How is it that you're getting off at 7 and I have to stay till 8?

Hey, you count 12 hours your way, and I'll count 'em my way. Has nothing to do with the duration of Blogathon.

Gee, you sure get paranoid when you're sleep-deprived!

Sleep deprivation's got nothing to do with my stress or paranoia. That's kids.

Well, I'm the piano player at church so I'll probably fall asleep during the midst of a worship chorus.

We also have our Sunday School picnic.

It's going to be 95 degrees.

This is one of God's test days, I think.

Yeah, I'm not sure which is worse. You have a more active role to play, but I get to stand up.

95 degrees for you guys is just miserable, isn't it?

We refer to that as a cold snap.
