1. Well, Another Board Meeting Survived

This meeting was for February, actually, and it had at least 40 and maybe 50 agenda items...and we got through them all in 3 hours! this is attributable to the fact that our two least efficient board members were not present. One is resigning (bad health all winter) and the other is in hot water of her own making and mad at the board and staff for not pulling her out.

I'm bushed, but it takes time to wind down from such a marathon.

Then we get to do it all over again in two weeks. Fortunately, many of the agenda items have been completed and removed from the list.

How many new things can spring up in two weeks, after all? (Don't answer that--I shudder to think).

Our swan family is back. The planets are shining brightly in a cloud-free sky, and Mars actually looks red tonight. Usually I can't tell. It's quite a celestial show. And warm...it's 51F at 9:30 PM.
