It's just a fact, sometimes cool ain't.
You know the drill. You learn something, get something or something happens to you that at first seems really, really cool. But then as the dust settles you come to see that whatever it is ends up being a lot harder, messier, more time consuming or even more embarrassing than you could have imagined.
I've got one of those going on right now. I got caught up in the whole "wouldn't it be cool to be in an opera!" thing. (Operetta really, but why quibble.) It was almost like one of those 40s musicals -- Hey let's turn the barn into a theater! Yeah, we can make costumes! I have some instruments. Let's put on a show!! Apparently that only works in the movies.
My initial enthusiasm for doing Amal has been tarnished by a lack of organization, rehearsal, preparation, and, dare I admit it, talent of key personnel. Now I must address the conflict of wanting to keep my original commitment and not wanting to feel cringing embarrassment.
What to do? What to do? <sigh>

Time to press the Oops key.
