Can I have a few more hours in the next few days...

It is 9:00 in the evening and I have just gotten home from school. I had a meeting tonight to train my Wall volunteers how to read the book of names and how to do the rubbings. There are still a million things left to do, but my mind is getting tired and I am not sure what I am forgetting because I have never done this before! I know I have hit the big time now...Mrs. Eunice Mixon was at the meeting tonight!!! She is a legend here in Tifton and also at the Georgia State Capitol. In fact she showed me a list of some guys she is going to call tomorrow...Max Cleland, Johnny Issacson, Saxby Chambliss, Zell Miller, and she knows "the little girl who takes care of the Governor's scheduling" so she will just "ring" her up tomorrow. Ms. Eunice enthralled us all after the meeting with the history of how she came to make the commercial about the changes coming in February when all televisions will be going cable. She said that her "Albert, whose been gone for about two years and was "tighter than Jack's hat band" would love the fact that not only did she get paid $900 for the commercial, but she got flown to Memphis, picked up by a limo and treated her like she was a "real movie star!" I am meeting with the City manager and the Chief of Police to make some final arrangements for the Wall platform and security...I guess that is a sure sign that this is really getting close!
