Do Not Panic

One of the most difficult things about blogging is to keep the writing from degenerating into a self-centered whine. Especially when one is hosting a bridal shower on Saturday afternoon and organizing a family reunion for Saturday evening. Yes, the same Saturday. And, yes, there is a reason. But somehow, right now, the reason doesn't seem so reasonable.

Anyway, it's difficult to come up with something that seems even slightly creative or moderately intelligent when all one's effort is concentrated on not panicing.

"DO NOT PANIC" in large, friendly letters.
