Jumping the shark and up a tree in my world with a red phone

Hey ANR -- Forget the red stapler - you are no one till you have the RED phone! The RED trimline with letters that say "Emergency" phone, no less - don't really remember where Harley and I grabbed it.....an elevator you think?

OK, now where to begin... right now at this very minute I am in the belly of a shark and Harley is up a tree. So many things are happen'. The crunch is on for copying a gazillion things for the upcoming meetings in two weeks.

AND, on top of all that-- yes, you guessed it (or not) we will have the Finance Committee in to review a draft budget for the operations of MENC. The Finance Committee is made up on the national president (Lynn Brinckmeyer), the president-elect (Barbara Geer), the immediate past president (David Circle), and a division president (Joyce Patch). They are responsible for presenting a budget to the National Executive Board who will discuss and then vote on it and we will then have an operating for the next fiscal year. They will begin meeting during the National Anthem Grand Finale this week and then come to the office on Friday.

Speaking of Friday, we have to have these gazillion copies and things stuffed and packed so they can be shipped to Disney's Coronado Springs Hotel for the upcoming Congress and National Assembly. So this will be short since I have no idea how to key in a "gazillion" in the copy machine who has a mind of its own. Harley is protesting that he wants to go visit Paris in the pokey. Oh well, that is a whole nutter topic in a stream of unconsciousness. I'm going to jump the shark. Have a great week friends - maybe next week I will take a photo of my red phone and show ya i really do have one.
