"It could be worse..."

OK...OK...OK.
We came off reunion....went on vacation...then school started.

In between I had to preach for the church... then had a part on the search committee, then found one... then covered a lesson or two 'till he got here.

Now its "District Educational Improvement Committee" meetings... being assigned the Science Department chairperson... Teaching Biology atop my usual Chemistry... Participating in the Texas Midwest Science Alliance...Coaching both UIL Science and Computer Science...and... announcing for football games (..."other duties as assigned," just ask a teacher about that clause in their contracts).

Still with me? If so, I've probably moved on to something else someone needs me to do. But it could be worse.

With a twisted, morbid sense of humor, I read this article on-line and it made me feel better:

CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.


Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.



So for those of you who have been waiting for a post... I'm not dead, so don't "cut" us from your blog list.
