Last week, I walked into the Friends of the Library meeting as myself. I walked out as the president. Once home, I examined just how that happened. There is a pattern. When someone new comes to the table with ideas, they are immediately pegged as a leader. I confess that I did accept the nomination, but only after I insisted on 30 minutes to think about it. It's not that I didn't want the position, I mean, my sense of vanity was completely appealed to, but I didn't want to over commit myself and in the process shape my name into something that doesn't accurately represent me.
So, after 29 and a half minutes of contemplative thought, I accepted. Behold, the new president of the Friends of the Library.

That sounds like something that is right up your alley! i love you
Does this mean if I write a book and self-publish you can have the library buy 100 copies of it?
