Another meeting for planning for the 5-Day, and the food was delicious. As far as the meeting, well, the first part reminded me of my visit to the dentist a few days ago, the part where he goes through your teeth one by one and tells you which ones are OK and which ones aren't. And the ones that aren't obviously need some work done.

So in this case it was Ali and Alex going through the controls they had checked, most of them but not all, and telling me which ones were like my rotten teeth. And each comment, not matter how well intended, still feels like another little dagger. Not another dentist appointment in this case, but more time out in the woods, fix it or move it.

But best to find out now rather than later.

Got a few more days to get the courses done, so out again tomorrow. And then meet notes, and start lists, and whatever, whatever, whatever. Brings back memories of O-Fest '93, every day you'd polish off the to-do list, and the next day a new one would be back, and even longer.

But eventually everything got done then, as it will this time. Just a lot of stress. But that's why they pay us the big bucks.... :-)

Into Amherst to drop off maps for Ali and Alex to do some vetting. Slight headwind.

And then back home with a little bit of meandering in Amherst (and some atrocious "pavement") and through UMass and a stop for some heavy cream for the last touches for the chocolate rum cake Gail is making for tonight. Yummy.

Slight tailwind, not working very hard.
