Morning Check-In

Where: Desk at home
Wearing: Nothing
H Factor: 5
C Factor: 8

Last night we had a church council meeting and I ended up running around like the proverbial headless chicken getting ready and getting there. Unfortunately it went on for hours.

Tonight, on the other hand, I have nothing scheduled except dropping off a concert ticket to a friend. I think gmjambear has some plans for me though. ;-)

Tomorrow promises to be another crazy-busy evening since we have our dress rehearsal for our RGMC concerts Friday and Saturday. I won't go into the details now since Gary wants to be surprised when he attends on Friday, but I'll be sure to post more after he's seen what we're up to.

I've already spent about a half-hour working from home -- we have a worldwide conference call each week and the start time has been moved an hour earlier to 8 AM. Telecommuting can be fun, but I do try to keep it to a minimum.

Off to the showers, and then to the office. L8r everyone.
