Since moving to Mountain View - well, really, since the start of 2007 - Kevin and I have been asked to do a series of increasingly insane things by well-meaning people who think that we actually can accomplish the tasks and handle the responsibility.

Most recently, we've been invited to be a part of an "executive committee" in charge of raising over a million dollars, as part of a larger campaign to raise 100 million dollars for the Diocese of San Jose.

Apparently, we don't need to do anything but just "be young" and "be new to the area." But I think it involves going to parishioners homes and hitting them up for cash money, something I don't know I feel comfortable doing.

Oh, well. Maybe this is how we'll fund BDR's college education.
