And here, I was looking forward to not
writing at all this weekend.
Welcome to Friday, the 19th
day in a row I have written a blog. While I don't think it's quite a
personal record, this is one of the longest consecutive stretches
where I've written something. I'm not complaining; after all, I love
writing, and it seems that the blogs I produce while in Europe are
anticipated by a big group of people. So I don't in any way mind
that I've written blogs 19 days in a row.
However, I was kind of looking forward
to taking a short break this weekend, when I could devote my
(limited) brain power to something else, like finally putting away
everything from the trip still sitting on our living room floor
(pretty much most everything we brought over AND brought back, if
you're curious). It does not, though, seem that my wish will come
true, as I was reminded yesterday that one week from tomorrow I have
a history program to put on.
Oops.
Don't worry; all the research work for
the history of Graveraet program I'm putting on for the Marquette
Area Public Schools Educational Foundation is done. All the pictures
are ready, too. I made sure all that was done before we left. But
it hasn't been organized into any coherent form (not that any of my
history programs have a coherent form, but that's neither here nor
there), and I should probably have at least a rough outline put
together. If nothing else, that may help me not digress, Fred
Rydholm-style, into a topic that has nothing to do with the topic at
hand.
And that's while I have to write a
little this weekend.
One of the things about which I have to
chuckle is that I'm probably one of the least qualified people to put
on this program. Aside form attending shows at Kaufman Auditorium,
up until a few years ago I had never set foot into the school. Nope;
being a Bothwell kid I never had a reason to, and for some bizarre
reason even all the stuff I've been doing for the History Center the
past 15 years never gave me a cause to step inside the building. So
those heady qualifications are probably another reason why I might
want to attempt a little writing this weekend.
So I can at least sound like I know
what I'm talking about.
Fortunately, I still have a week left
to tie up all the loose ends, and I'm supremely confident I'll get it
all done. Heck, if the weather is as nice as it's supposed to be
this weekend, maybe I can even getting away with skipping writing
altogether, at least for a day or so. And if nothing else, I could
always take my laptop down and sit in Graveraet's courtyard, writing
and enjoying the weather.
That would apt, wouldn't it?
So that's (part) of what I'm doing this
weekend. Hope your weekend is just as enjoyable or productive... or
if you're multitasking like some of us, both!
