Browbeating Tonight

One minor detail I forgot to mention last night is another event with which I'm involved. We are having a big family reunion at our church that includes family members from afar. The legacy goes back to my great-great-great grandfather and all his children's families. Believe me, I won't know a handful of attendees at this one; however, since they meet at my church and I am only one of two family members who attend, I get to be in charge of getting the fellowship hall lined up, readied and cleaned up afterwards. How do I get such fun jobs!

Tonight, we had a meeting of our high school senior class reunion committee. I guess that was a somewhat productive. At least the meal was absolutely wonderful (I know my weight will reveal how wonderful it was on the morrow). We'll meet again next month to greet, have a seat, eat, meet, browbeat, and plan a repeat! We don't always agree on things and that can be a bit disturbing. For example, the committee doesn't want to invite any of our teachers who are still living. Personally, I think it would be great to see the few who could perhaps attend. I have to abide by the wishes of the group, however.

Fuel prices are getting absolutely ridiculous, don't you think? Prices have risen to over $3.00. I don't understand how the price can vary from $3.09 in one place, $3.12 in another, and up to $3.21 in others. Why would someone pay the higher price if they can go across the street and pay less? Has this increase slowed down your traveling? As for me, I'm trying to consolidate my trips if at all possible. I have also started trying to do all my shopping in town; however, our town is so small that I find myself having to leave town to shop for many things. Perhaps I don't really need everything that I think I do. Maybe I will evaluate my needs more carefully and determine that a day at home would be profitable in more ways than one. Now, that's a really great idea!!
