Email hymn the newsletter templates, .pdf program and any other programs you
use to make the newsletter and wish hymn luck with his new job. Take all the
stuff you cart to the meetings and the society stuff you store in your
garage and drop it on his front lawn. Then walk away.

To all of you who *rant*, I am so upset tonight that I can't even get it
out properly. I have been attacked by a member of our society, someone who
is a great grower. Someone who is with the *in* crowd. I am in the *in*
crowd, I guess, but my *in crowd* is not the crowd who lives on the big
hill.

Frank & I have worked our butts off to make this society the best it can
be. We cart stuff, do presentations, act as officers, I do the newsletter,
he does the graphics for publicity. We, together, do so much. I can't even
begin to describe what we do, and we don't want any accolades. At the
recent show, I recruited a couple of very capable people to place the
trophies (which I bought) and they did a great job. Good on them, because
my back hurt, and I didn't want to climb into the displays.

Late this afternoon I rec'd an email from someone who has been a friend.
Not close, but a friend. He took me to task for what he thought was an
omission in the newsletter about the AOS. (Did I say he's the AOS Rep? Did
I say he's so into awards that anyone is fair game?) He wants every word
of the AOS stuff in the newsletter. Hmm. Could that be because the more he
gets exposure, the more awards he gets? In this area, yes.

I have been attacked for the past few hours. I am so angry that I could
spit. You know what?

Hymn. Hymn. Sing him a hymn!!!!!

Thanks for the outlet. I'll be sorry I sent this in the moring, but it
feels great right now..
