Master of Ceremony

Is it Master of Ceremony or Ceremonies?  I don't know.  Suffice to say this evening I was the MC at the ward variety show.  It was pretty awesome.  We had some great acts and I was very much impressed with everyone.  Wow.  I tried to make it fun and tried to get some audience participation going on.  Had some good moments.  Some of the stuff I did was pretty dumb but whatever, you do dumb stuff in front of people some times and tonight I did a lot of it.  I started out as Paul Blart and used some cotton candy to liven myself up when the hypoglycemia was kicking in.  Some people had no idea what I was doing but others understood.  I had fun with teaching young men how to make a sandwich, an impromptu eating challenge between their mothers of the sandwiches they made, I did an impression of Luke Skywalker with the help of some youth, I pretended that I was going to cut Sister Faye's hair.  She was volunteered by the audience as someone with very nice hair, this is true.  I pretty much blew everyone away with I pulled a hot dog out of my pocket and devoured it in a second.  It was a lot of fun.  I didn't think being a dork in front of people would be as much fun as it was or that the people would enjoy it.  So many people asked me about that hot dog. Some thought I dropped it down my shirt.  Nope.  Just ate it.  I think they timed me at just over a second and Will, who was the official time keeper said it should have been faster because he was looking at his phone to make sure the time started and when he looked up I was already done and he had to then try to stop the clock quickly.  It was fun.  I loved so many of the performances.  They were wonderful and brought the spirit.  Great activity.  Happy I could participate. 

Because it is the day I want to note that we catered the Autism Conference again today.  I believe this was the 4th year that we have done it.  It makes for a busy morning which made for a busy day for me but it was a good day.  Certainly a full day.  Grateful for it.
