It's cold out there in the world. Not bone chilling sub-zero cold but just enough and add to that gray low hanging clouds with a threat of rain or snow later this afternoon that I just do not want to leave the house until tomorrow morning at five minutes to six when I renter the world driving my chair up to the bus stop and head into work. Tomorrow morning I well be ready for the cold, dress in layers, a hood and my gloves. But not today and I should go out to the market to get the items we need, milk, fresh fruit, butter, deli meat, croissants and potato chips. We will survive on frozen food and can good and cable.
It's early Sunday afternoon, the end of a holiday weekend for me. I was off Thursday to celebrate veteran's Day we did not do anything except hang out—Friday I had to go into the city for a board meeting. The meeting is two hours long and they serve a lunch—a potato bar this—I used to hate potato bars—I saw potato as hot lunch cop outs but I have began to like the potato bars more and more as I smashed potatoes, in the foil, drench them with sour cream. I stay away from all the things like the chili, mushrooms, olives and what ever management deems will make a low budget meal appear more then it is. I was reminded as I entered the board room that I was to be the major portion of entertainment for the day's meeting. I was to give an overview of one of the programs that I sit on the advisory board and not that it matters but I was one of the players who got the project off the ground. I surprised myself and those present I pulled it off giving something like 20-30 minute presentation. I do wish I had remembered and had been a little better prepared.
