camwynand meant it. Not even quoting Runyon. Oy, I need more sleep...
For the record, the public relations person for our chapter came up to my office and asked if I would be willing to come down to East Orange with a few other Red Cross people next Tuesday. It's a National Night Out thing, or a Local Night Out thing, whatever - something about a night out - and we're bringing our fire safety trailer, some of our other stuff, and the Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV). One of our volunteers is already associated with the fire safety trailer (a mini mobile home kitted out with a VCR so kids can watch a video on fire safety, then clamber around inside as fake smoke comes in so as to practice escaping safely). The PR lady wanted to know if I would be willing to come and explain the ERV and where it's been, etc. I said 'sure, what time', thus provoking the fire safety volunteer to murmur 'see, I told you she would'. As the two of them were walking away I remembered that I keep two puppet animals in Red Cross vests on my desk for use with traumatized children, and called out, "You want I should bring the dog?"
For the record, yes, she wants I should bring the dog. So if you're in East Orange, NJ next week and you see someone standing outside a Red Cross vehicle with either a gray, wolflike critter or a black Lab puppy on her arm, that's me.
