43 Things Zeitgeist

• Congregation heads
• Social service agencies

• The existing board absolutely must be on board – or get off.
• To keep pace with both attrition and the size of the board we need, I need to recruit a new board member every two weeks (!) Not sure that’s practical, but it’s what’s needed
• Then, we need specific skills: finance, fund development, just general leadership

Fund development: at this point, we’re in survival mode. I am not sure if our current model is a sustainable one.

• A real, realistic budget
• True financial oversight by the board

The other stuff will come along, I think, if I focus on these items.

while i was home,i was bored and i started drawing little shoe designs and different stuff and as i took a look at da designs i did it made me want to make my own shoe for kids my age.so i found this to help me.

was great – I was scared I’d feel like I was back in school and full of anxiety, but I actually found myself relaxing and enjoying myself. La professeur is lovely.
Can’t wait for next week!

This probably won’t happen. Even when I was in good shape, I wasn’t a runner. I can run pretty fast, just not for very long. :\

Rode to my class on Monday, and then into work on Wednesday.

Today, I had a meeting in town, so I did the bike/bus thing to the park-and-ride, and then zipped up to Lower Queen Anne. All that pedaling up to the Plateau has paid off. Even with a full pannier, I made it to the P/R in a sprightly 25 minutes.

After the meeting, I made a couple of stops. First, I dropped off my proxy card with the old personnel dept., who nagged me about not turning it in when I finished up in May. Then I stopped off at the Bicycle Alliance office, to turn in an auction item. Finally, I made a stop at Working Dog Cycles and bought a couple of spare tubes.

After all of that, it was a sparklingly clear and breezy ride home. Really gorgeous cycling weather. And you know? Because I now have a ‘burb to ‘burb commute, I really miss bikie culture. Riding in town just puts me in proximity with other cyclists, other people riding to make deliveries and get places. I do see a few other cyclists on my way to work, but it’s pretty rare. It’s much nicer to be where other people on bikes are.

Enough loafing – time to get some things done around here…!
