Did you ever do something that you were completely unprepared for and when it was over you found that you had done a really horrible job of the new task?<\/p>\n
Well, that is exactly what I have just been through. On April 6th, I did something I was not prepared for. I had a major heart attack. I had never done it before and was not prepared for the experience. I had no idea just how many holes a medical team could poke into you withing a short period of time. I will now forever feel a certain kinship to a pin cushion.<\/p>\n
Talk about confused. Get more rest. Wake up for us to poke a few more holes into you. Go back to sleep.<\/p>\n
Anyway, as badly as I messed up the performance of the attack, I finally finished the show. I am now back to the office in the Shoppe and slowly but surely getting caught up. The good news (at least for me) is that there is no ultimate damage from a lifetime to too many greasy cheeseburgers. I will be changing my diet (not my choice, but sometimes decisions get made by others on our behalf).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not where were we when all this foolishness began. Oh yeah. we were in the middle of a writing contest. We thought about just marching forward into the judging phase, but then we realized that we would not be being fair to all the contestants if we did not do justice to the first round of the judging.<\/p>\n
So that is what we will do this week and then next week we will publish the first round winners for general voting next week.<\/p>\n
So sorry for all the inconvenience this has caused. Trust me on this. I did not pull this intentionally.<\/p>\n
That is all for now. We will talk more next week.<\/p>\n
