Heh. Wow....I am impressed at myself.

So this makes me, now that it’s kind of later in the thread, share a personal reminisce.

For this coming Tuesday night I shall be practicing to be a Cantor.

A Cantor, in the Catholic church, is someone who stands at the altar and leads the congregation. I AM in the church choir and have been at this church for 11 years now and than some.

I was just full of myself when I agreed to do it, at the behest and urging or our NEW Music Ministry director, best friend of Rev. Thomas Flowers and....heh.

The story of the choir director....well I’ve mentioned it a couple of times on this thread but I shall not bore again. But he’s gone and it’s one of the stranger stories on the planet.

It’s about me, a widow woman being forced to tear down my fence and pay the New Jersey jerks five grand for their legal fees. It’s my mentally ill daughter managing to get an undeserved restraining order against me and no I don’t necessarily blame her. I blame the system that her manipulate it. You can believe EVERY Delaware elected official had me at my most charming and folks, I can be charming as hell when I want to.

But like me and Tom Petty say....I WON’T BACK DOWN.

Anyway....heh....I’m thinking....SURE I’ll get up there in front of the church, in front of 400 or 500 people, and sing the responsoral, lead all the hymns.....oh please.

WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?? I have never sung a solo, ANYWHERE....not even Karaoke.

Well I asked myself what the hell was I thinking when I signed up to go to the Republican thing? I asked myself what the hell was I thinking when I designed business cards and handed them out....calling myself a “social media maven.”?

Yet I am moving forward, am mostly happy, and there was a fellow or two showing me an eyeball last night. Who knows, someday I might even meet a man that ain’t a priest.

Anyway, thanks Onyx......it’s a true story and the truth is always purty.

Yeah, I’m going to do my Cantor thing. Our new Choir Director is my Facebook friend, loves my writing and “likes” every political post I put up....even that bit about Kasich being on fire and my refusal to pee upon him.

God has a plan for me, folks.

Because weird stuff keeps happening to me.

But carry on.......
