It inevitably comes - the first time your child wants to sleep over someone's house.  You know you have to allow them to go, but the worry is still there.  That is pretty much how I am feeling.  I have a new "baby" that is going to require a lot of attention and I have to let someone else take over raising my firstborn child for a while.  Five years just isn't long enough and the nerves are already getting to me.  I think sometimes the parents are more worried about things than the kids.  Well, right up until the other parents call and say your kid wants to come home.  I know this time it won't happen, but I will stay awake all night awaiting that phone call.

I was approached this week by an Event Manager at a 3000 person venue and asked to run a rather quick one day anime event.  We are still discussing details, but if I do this I will be temporarily stepping away from OGC and handing some of the reins off to Kelly.  It is wonderful to know I have someone I know will do a great job, but I will worry anyway.  Parenthood is never an on/off thing.
