With nice weather lately, I’ve taken to working on the computer outside on the porch on occasions like tonight. The big push this evening is to put the finishing touches on the agenda for the convention next weekend, which is shaping up nicely thanks to a very nice bottle of pinot grigio.
The sun went down a little while ago, and the wind has picked up the scent lingering from the mint that I planted in the flower bed. That was probably the best improvement that I’ve made to the backyard, planting all that mint. It makes everything else in the world just melt away, as you smell the sweet aroma in the evening wind. It’s even more relaxing than the smell of baking cookies or barbecue.
We’ve got a busy convention agenda though, which should cover about 7 straight hours next Saturday morning and afternoon. I’m excited though. This will be the first state-level meeting that I’ve run, although I’ve written the agenda for several of these meetings in the past. Time management is a talent… apparently.
The reaction to my sharp time planning and adherence to schedule may prove an interesting accompaniment to all the business we’ll be taking care of. I’m a bit of a hard-ass when it comes to scheduling, but most people think that’s a good thing. Who knows, at least I appreciate that trait in others.
Alright guys, I need another glass of wine.
