L O S T and sickly in our world.... OH NO

Yes, Harley and I have joined the ranks of sickly employees. Poor CW. He was really sick. In fact the more we think about it the more we think we got a little bit of his gunk since we went out to coffee with him prior to our horrendous sore throat, upset tummy, cold-like flu-like symptons' hit. Yes, when in doubt blame CW. Harley was out the same time as CW -- last Monday, Tuesday, had to leave early on Wednesday, and just kind of floated through work on Thursday and Friday. This is not good since it is a busy time of year. BUT, we are both feeling a lot better today (Harley and me) and I am sure a good dose of LOST helped last Thursday.

Ballots are rollin' into the office. Have you voted? Remember the deadline (altho a while off) is March 21. Yes, folks we are talking about the MENC elections -- not the other (and not to be confused with "the others" on Lost). Yes it is easy to place that ballot aside and then BAM - the deadline is past and you did not have a chance to have your say. Kind of the same with national elections in the United States. If you don't vote, don't criticize the leadership. If you did vote, have at it! Been my philosophy since I voted in my first election (no that wasn't when Moses was running for whatever......).

The board is working on developing an agenda for the upcoming National Assembly meeting to be held in Milwaukee, WI, prior to the convention. Delegates to the Assembly will begin meeting at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, and end their meeting on Wednesday, April 9, at noon time.

WHICH REMINDS ME -- February 15 is the deadline to get the Early Bird special rates for the convention. Go to the MENC web site now and register. Take care this week and stay well. The cold bug is rampaging around so you need to keep up your defenses. You will be happy to know, Harley has been declared well and able to work the rest of the week. Take care!
