We were doing the usual December holiday ramp-up meeting, closing the first week to clear off the Turkey stuff and transition through the military commemorations and get back to the transition activities that are picking up steam. There was talk about the precedence of the Bronze Star medal, and if awarded with the little “V” […]

The morning started out more quickly than usual. Thursdays are a weekly peak with the only regular group session before lunch. Though mostly Zoom, in the space they called the conference room in the suite that has also been a condo and an apartment. So, that part of the pitch was simple enough with the […]

You can see the complications in the production meeting this morning. They included the matter of cheese grits with herbs, later local whiskey deliveries, commemorative branding, the recent sledge-hammer robberies over by Point Chaud on Georgia Avenue across the River and why news about a Russian Kilo-class diesel submarine in the South China Sea was […]

Sorry this is a rush in what used to be morning but has failed in that. DeMille told us to get something out about the direct impact of the messaging in the new week just getting revved up for the three weeks to XMS after Turkey Day. There is a bunch of it and Splash […]

Some Black Friday stuff to wrap up. A stop at the Credit Union in the chill set the right mood. Awake. Also the storm […]

Ambivalent morning. Lot of people getting up in crowded houses. Orion had parked his belt in the sky just over the summit of the west wing at Big Pink. The Beaver Moon was gone, finally, and the first question was whether those three bright orbs had familiar names, like Sirius. Or something different. These three […]

This was on the screen glowing on the device on the conference room. We assumed was set to “alert” to encourage some sort of response. This one was from DeMille and addressed to whoever was supposed to be listening for phones or alerts in the morning. Getting it sent involved an interaction between the Building […]

The President was speaking this morning, something with which we share challenges. The moments in fresh air, the door swinging open under the clouds and fresh breeze was livening, But it was laid on top of the Production Meeting and the collective urgency to be doing some other things that need to be settled before […]
