The person who is the main driving force behind the thing is a local retired woman; she's head of a bunch of town social committees and whatnot, and will probably keep doing this until the day she dies. Stubborn does not begin to describe her, and our duty as the "helping librarians" is mainly to stay out of her way and nod whenever she makes a suggestion. Argh.

She came up with the topic, she came up with the crafts; she decided on the music and snacks. Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion that all the ideas she's come up with are going to take far too much time and concentration from the kids, who are only in first through third grade. We'll just have to see how it goes, I suppose.

Eric is sick. We have no idea what it is; his heart rate has been up around 120 beats a minute since yesterday morning, and it's making him feel a little weak. Plus, his blood sugars soared up to 160, which is really high for him. He called his brother, and Bryan seems to think it's just something viral and said to take it easy. Not a problem for my man! He called me this morning at work to ask whether he should be watching "Maury Povich" or "The View" (sorry, no webpage - it's just a stupid panel argument show with a bunch of women). Gotta love him!
