In the spotlight

On a less serious account...

I am hiding in my office because Fiance and I put our engagement announcement in the local tiny-town newspaper and it is coming out today, this very afternoon. I don't mind being put in the spotlight professionally, but personally is a completely different story. What if everybody thinks our photo is ugly, what if they think it is weird to announce the engagement in the paper. I know it is ridiculous to be afraid of some twenty students and a few faculty gathering for a Friday afternoon glass of wine, so I am heading out now to face my few seconds in the limelight. Wish me luck.
