Tell Me What You Want Me To Do

Wednesday.  Another E&NR monthly call. 

Survey says I will be out of the country and so unable to attend the AGM.  Is it work-related, family-related, or other, survey asks?  Could make the case for all three, although not sure it would be viewed that way by the intended readers of such justifying words.  Enough to simply move forward with the plans, on the assumption that pieces will fall into place as appropriate.

The boat is in, but its use not yet maximized.  Typical for the Nova Scotia sailing season, and while frustrating to look out at such gray drizzle, its time and glory in 2019 is sure to come.  News of Inch's fender failure due to the roughness of the seas provoking a smile.  More character to the SC.  Let's make the time this weekend for her before heading out.

The focus for now is on the upcoming countdown to 40.  An inspired effort to pull together an itinerary that touches so many nostalgic points of the last decade.  Need to do a spreadsheet of trips to fully summarize the backpacking moments.  There have been many to flood the memory.  The olive tree photo will be the one to sum it all up, but reading through these pages, thoughts of Serge in Cyprus and other real-time entries all bringing a smile as this Pivot draws near.

As the work rolls on.  Sitting on Terminal Road today, staring up at the Excel spreadsheet of numbers and the help message staring you back in the face.  Tell me what you want me to do.  If only it were that simple.  Keep making the effort to respond in the affirmative. 

Case in point - two weeks until the Europa Final.  You could have been in Baku if you had wanted.  Mombasa instead, with the #12 you ordered.  It can't be anything but great.
