Done

It's over. I survived our General Assembly. I have no more idea than a cooked goose what happened in the assembly itself, but I smiled like an idiot and tried to get people to take free umbrellas. (Note to self: don't try to give an umbrella to someone from South Texas, as this leads to one of those exchanges of jollity that are so tiring.) I picked up a nifty gadget from another ministry's table (the little oval devices houses a tiny tapemeasure and opens up to be a screw driver with exchangable heads).

I am an introverted person, and I am not energized by rubbing up against the madding crowd. Being smiley and friendly to strangers saps me. Even nice conversations with nice, interesting people are tiring. I still have the clamor and clatter in my head. I need to live in a cave for a week.

Now I can get back to trying to dig myself out of the hole I was excavating when I got caught in the GA storm.

  2. I'd like an umbrella. Bet we can use it more here too :)

    Enjoy the cave ... eat lots of icecream while you de-tox from the GA.

  3. Augustus: Well, it was politicky enough anyway. If the Episcopal assembly give you the hives, this would probably send you screaming. I'd rather be a slob.

    By the way--have you done away with your new blog as well as your old? It cannot be.

  4. Augustus,

    First, I didn't know that fajitas, salsa, guacemole, and refried beans even existed in Malaysia.

    Second, I didn't know they existed in England, either.

    Third, the only reason to heat the tortilla is to make it pliable, so warm a few in a frying pan (careful not to make them brittle), stack 'em up, wrap 'em in a cloth, and stick 'em in a covered dish of some sort and tell everyone to eat fast or suffer.

    Fourth, why did I never think of letting yoghurt sit in a filter paper? I thought I had to have cheese cloth, and whoever has cheese cloth?
