I'd been planning to type up my recipe for Congee Tom Yum, the soup I delivered to the Village on Friday night when, on Tuesday morning, I read my e-mail.
Well, wow.
Occupy OC thought it important enough to put my name in an e-mail blast call to attend the Irvine City Council meeting that night. I guess I'd better do something. I mean, they even said "Please"!
So I set about making arrangements to get a ride (thank you Laura!) and to have my husband take charge of the pasta I had on the menu for that night. And I spent a lot of time thinking about what I would say to the City Council about the Occupation.
Let's get this clear, here. I am not a public speaker. I'm an introvert. The adage "three's a crowd" is not far off for me. I work from a home office and see my co-workers face-to-face about twice a year. And I like it that way. Out of my comfort zone? Understatement of the decade.
