Going to Italy...

Dear family and friends,
I'm excited to be leading this Group Study Exchange to Italy from May 5 to June 2. Therefore, from mid-April to early June, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO:
A. break a hip,
B. have a heart attack or stroke,
C. have a baby to which I have naming rights,
D. schedule a wedding in which I must serve as a significant bridesmaid,
E. lose an eye, ear, arm, leg or other extremity in an auto accident, especially if you are at fault and I insure you,
F. need an organ transplant to which I am the only exact matching donor on the planet,
G. involve me in any shady business transactions that would prevent me from leaving the country while waiting to testify before a grand jury, OR
H. contract a fatal, icky disease, UNLESS
i. you can arrange to have your funeral completed by mid-April, giving me sufficient time to grieve prior to my departure on May 5, OR
ii. you can cling to life until I have returned in June.

Arrivederci!
