Hump Day today, Wednesday, the middle of the week. We are having some rain this morning. It’s been a little wetter than normal this July. That’s good.

So, the other day Catherine and Dana and I hammered out an agenda for the four days of the Veranda. It gives a little structure to the situation but is not totally solid. There are a few things to be added but maybe I will print it for you so you can get a rough idea of the flow of it.

There is plenty of meet and greet time in there. And there are a few things to add but not too much. We thought that it is better under engineered than over.

I am guessing that we are having about sixty pilgrims here all together although I don’t expect them to be here all the time. People will be coming and going.

We will be on duty part of the time. I am asking that everyone spend a quarter of their time here as a hospitality helper. There will be things to do to keep things moving. Also I am going to give a responsibility to each of the Bureau Chiefs.
In this way we can help each other as we like to do anyway.

OK, please email me if you have specific questions about anything concerning your trip. [email protected] .

A little over a month away loves, Felipé.
