So far behind on this thread, I have no chance of keeping up.
I took a look at the new "submission forms" for the output of the committee this session... AIIIEEEE!!! It used to take maybe 30 minutes to fill out a form; the worst one now will take half a day, the best an hour. And this with three days for preparing 5 documents for submission (which requires a lot of editing of the documents themselves).
Our legislature is truly stuck on stupid this year; I've seen some of the worst of what they're trying showing up in quite a number of bills -- I guess under the rubric of "you only have to get lucky once." My counter: "I can cut & paste letters faster than you can file." (I ought to be working on a letter on a bill filed today... but I need a rest.)
Got my shots for India today. The nurse was superb. I've had more painful mosquito bites... but the arm's beginning to ache & throb now.
Did I mention I have jury duty in the midst of all this mess? I wonder if I can bring my laptop and work on my India powerpoint while waiting to be called...
Heard mention of there being a two-day meeting being called in your neck of the woods in the near future -- Las Vegas? A short trip from Seattle; not so the guys back East.
How are you doing these days?
It depends on when you get to Las Vegas...if it's before June, I'll have to make a trip. After June, I'll be there...it would be so cool to meet you!
