Loss of Control
I go away for a week, and you people stage a mutiny. Don't you know that this is supposed to be all about me? Aaanyway. I just had a bunch of guests going in and out of my apartment, and now I am finally all alone. I hope you all had a good time over the Holiday. I was at the Berlin Cathedral for service, and the German President was also there. I was disappointed because when he got up and left only about half of the people there stood. I think that I am as much of a rebel as anybody, but I like formalities like that and I think it is a shame when people are to obtuse or lazy to adhere to them. If people were sitting as a form of protest or civil disobedience, fine. But I don't think that was the reason. It is totally warm today, and I am so happy. Spring is finally here to stay! Today is a big holiday and everyone has the day off. The same thing goes for Good Friday. Most people don't go to church in this city, so those two days off of work have become a bigger deal than Easter itself. I saw a book store that was closed on good Friday, that was open on Easter Sunday, and it is normally closed on Sunday anyway. Well, I don't have much more to say, but I thought I better post something before you people take over. (Just kidding, it was nice to hear what you said to each other)

Mutiny? I perfer to think of it as being creative, resilient, free-thinking and self-reliant. In fact, it is a tribute to you that you have such a great group of friends (and a couple of relatives). So where are the details of what you have been up to during the last week? I think you owe us that much - afterall.
From American Heritage Third Edition:
Mutinous (a) - Of or pertaining to mutiny. See also creative, resilient, free-thinking and self-reliant.
I don't know if this directly relates to anything, ever... but, I feel like sharing my favorite part of my easter. I was working on easter loading out a huge (5 semi truck) set-up for a stadium easter service. Apparently there were too many people for a conventional communion, so they placed baskets of little comunnions-to-go everywhere. They looked like cream packets and were filled with wine. On the top they had a second layer of plastic under which sat a communion wafer. The best part is that the church didn't take the extras, so on the floor, the seats, the conrete outside, everywhere you looked was the body and blood of christ. One of our workers accidentaly rolled a case over one and the blood went all over his shoe. Ah... Organized religion at it's finest.
Obviously not Cathoic.
