I decided to do the following about my little power struggle at St. Stoic:

*Tell the Clerk of Session. Sure, he's not that dependable, and maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed, but no time like the present to change all that, eh?

* Tell the Office Admin, who will be working on the newsletter this next week. In case "Marge: Large and In Charge" decides to end-run me with another "article".

* Tell the elder in charge of the parking lot project. He is responsible and non-reactionary.

Of course, I had to take a few days, let myself cool down before I could identify exactly who needed to know these things.

But now I have a plan. Thanks to you all for your words of support!
