Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN #51: TAN and Deliver My pool and I waged war all last night. No clear winner right now. We called a truce for the time being to let the dust settle. The second battle will begin this afternoon.... The pool almost scored a decisive blow at about midnight, as I almost flooded the neighbors house, save for devine intervention that warned me....

I don't have time in a lunch hour to get to the gym, change, swim, shower, dry my hair, put make-up back on, etc. It's not as easy for girls. I have to look decent at work. |

Champion 5868 Urbandale, IA | Subject: RE: TAN #51: TAN and Deliver OK - I have a small dilema (that certainly isn't spelled correctly). I was asked and accepted an invitation o go to my donor's hometown tonight for their homecoming game (this would be her senior year). It was on the way to the homecoming dance that she was in her accident. I assumed it would be very low key - go to the football game and sit with the family and such. One of my customers from that town called me today and told me that the entire high school is buzzing with the fact that I am coming tonight (it's a small town of about 9,000) and he thinks I will be "mobbed" at the game. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with this. Our charity has organized a 5k run/walk for next spring named after Vanesa and all of the Seniors there have gotten really behind it (we are estimating at least 1,000 participants at this point - mostly from that town), but I have yet to meet any of the kids personally at this point, and wanted to do it under a "more controlled" atmosphere, not to mention that it will be an emotional event for the family and for me, and I assume for many of the students (2 year anniversary of the accident is next Thursday and my transplant anniversary is next Friday). So - smart boys and girls - what do I do now? |

I like to have some semblance of control and I feel like this would be an out of control situation. Then again, it maybe mountain out of a mole hill. I already cancelled once, as I was supposed to come to Pancake Day (seriously, that is their big festival, with a Pancake Queen and everything) but I was too ill to attend (it was 9/27), so I don't plan on not being there. I guess my question is, how do I maintain control of the situation, if I can do it at all. |

Talk to your handelers (ie. the people that invited you there)... Communicate your concerns and see what they say. With such a small community I would have assumed that there would be a lot of interest. There isn't much space to hide. |
