meeting update


february 26 at 7:30 am

.

here is my back yard 24 hours prior to the start of my meeting.  snow is forcasted to end sunday eve.  it’s friday morning.

the meeting has been cancelled.

i now have 45 t-shirts,  150 + books,  aproximately 400 atkins bars, 60 boxes of no carb cookies,  45 bars of  bacon soap,  45 gift bags and folders,  and a bag filled with miscellaneous items such as water pitchers and room decorations, taking up every available inch of space in my kitchen for an undetermined length of time.  and i’m concerned about being able to reschedule the meeting prior to the weather getting too warm to be able to wear my new suit.

february


hard to believe february is almost over.  i’ve pretty much spent the entire month preparing for the first big  meeting for nutrition & metabolism society members.  during the month of january i feared no one would show up. by yesterday i was actually 3 people over booked.   people are flying in from all over the country and even one person from england to attend my meeting. i was not expecting this at all but it made me very happy.  i told richard we may have to stand during the entire meeting and asked him not to eat too much – if he has to eat at all.  i ordered lunch for 40 – not 43.

here is the weather forcast:

Snow will develop this morning and pick up intensity through this
afternoon. There will be a period this afternoon into early this
evening when the snow mixes with or changes to rain. The precipitation
is expected to change back to all snow tonight.

For now expect accumulations to range from 7 to 12 inches… with
locally higher amounts possible.  In addition… if no mixing of
rain occurs… amounts will end up towards the higher end of the
range… if not a bit more.

Precautionary/preparedness actions…
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow…
sleet… and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also possible.
This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards weather radio or visit our web
site at weather.Gov/NYC for further details and updates.

is this really happening?

giving


“Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.  It is an uncomfortable doctrine which the true ethics whisper into my ear.  You are happy, they say; therefore you are called upon to give much.”
