08-21-24 responsibility
Up early and on the treadmill for the third time this week. Also still haven’t smoked since Saturday morning. Baby steps towards my goals.
Rotary was interesting as Penny Coyle from sunrise. Rotary got up and asked for volunteers for Gran Fondo. By the end of the meeting, it was felt best that I would be most helpful as the parking crew coordinator and I had already recruited three of the four volunteers I need. Should be a fun day although I told her it showed how much I love her that I will be out at Saint Eugene Mission before 7 o’clock on a Saturday morning.
The other speakers at the meeting were relatively young veterans who have formed the committee about the restoration and upkeep of the cenotaph in Rotary Park. The history of it was very interesting and it has moved four times and shall not be moved again, but they wish to build a fence around it and I thought one of the most beautiful things was that they were not here to ask us for funds, but rather ask us how they can raise funds. It was actually a very beautiful moment. I stopped so Ashley could let her dog out and ducked the Jeep that was parked beside me.
I spent late afternoon early evening working on my schedule of things for while I’m away, including what days I will need to run payroll and file government filings and what time it will be there at midnight mountain standard time. I feel a bit relieved even getting that much figured out already.
It should work out most days that when I am back on the ship from adventures, it will be time to run payroll.
I did stop at Rotary Park to see there was a new arrangement of things on site and had quite a few lovely catch-up conversation conversations with people who flagged me down. One of them was Doug Mitchell who completely caught me off guard by asking if I would be interested in Minh for the Locals. It is a monthly performance of local musicians at the studio stage door and he said they have had before, but they’re not Marnée. That was a lovely compliment and exactly what I needed so of course I told him I would be honoured and he will get the schedule to me soon for the winter
I’m not sure why Lyhne with velvet wasn’t the opener at the park instead I saw that it was Slo Jo Crow playing
Maddisun and her full band played out the evening. It was nice to see her so happy.
Also sticking to my commitments to me, I decided to come home and make dinner rather than spend more money out and about.
