Meeting

It's been almost two weeks since I have written. The primary reason is preparation for my organization's annual meeting - our biggest event of the year. Have board members from all over the states and from Japan. Takes a lot of time and energy to get things just right, the way they like it. Our small staff has been working on preparations for about three months.

The meeting was yesterday, with other activities yesterday and the day before. Almost all are gone now. Everything went well, with some financial planning issues very important. Next spring's meeting will also be very important.

One of our trustees in very much the Renaissance man - he is learning to play the flute, is a successful retired businessman, totally built his own vacation home, is very good at sketches, and now is composing "hi ku" poetry. Likes to sing karaoke also.

Most of the group are very interesting with varied backgrounds. We are working to expand and diversify the group a little more.

I ate too much as we have two big dinners and one big lunch as part the events. But the food was really good.

Has to wear suits for the last three days instead of going casual as I do most of the rest of the year. It was kind of nice, but I prefer the casual. Back to normal and also got to ride my bike again today.

Started reading Greenspan's book recently - I am hoping for a lot of interesting insight.

That's about it for now.

Take care.
