Picture this:  a woman is wearing a "heart for Jesus" while dropping off churchgoers at a nursing home.  Out of a clear blue sky, an arrow appears and hits her.

I am NOT making this up.

I know that it's not funny but...omigod, yes it is.  So many possibilities:

"Wow, I guess the economy really IS lousy.  God downsized from lightning bolts to fiberglass arrows."

"And God said...:  'Oooops.'"

"You know, sometimes I wonder:  world-wide Flood, city-destroying smiting, arrows in good faithful people doing good works...does God have a problem with his aim?"

And on and on.


For the record, she got taken to the hospital, is in stable condition, and should be fine.  Mz Delgado-Brown, I'm very sorry that this happened to you, and I hope you recover quickly.  In the unlikely event that you ever see this, I do hope you'll forgive me.

Hey all,

So, there's a conference that I just stumbled over.  It runs from the 22nd-25th (this coming Sunday-Wed) at MIT in Boston.  I'm not totally sure I want to go but I'm considering it.  However, the conference is spendy enough that I don't want to do that and also pay for a hotel.  Would any Bostonites have a spare couch that I could crash on?  I will be gone much of the day, am quiet when around, and will even bring my own towels to minimize laundry.  :>

Again, I may end up not doing this...its $250 that I don't particularly need to spend right now, since both the clients I was working for are on work stoppage.  Still, it would be good networking and it would be great to see some friends I don't see too often.
