"Listers"... Aside from the occasional "nattering nabob"...this group is doing a damn fine job in attacking our agenda in a serious and professional manner. One of the most impressive things to note is how we will address a subject and then discuss potential solutions. Then...rather than just opt for one...we will put additional thought into those ideas for a solution to be decided on at the next meeting in July. Giving ourselves more time allows options for the very best solutions to emerge. Some items can be dealt with right away but some...like changes in the futurity system require more in depth discussion to get it right. This Board..."Gets" that concept and that should give us the ability to get it really right. I can only speak for myself...but it also seems this group is really working together very well. I was thinking of the movie "Blazing Saddles" yesterday and Mel Brooks who played Governor Lepetamane. One of his great lines was to his aide Hedley Lamar when he saId..."Weve got to justify keeping our phony baloney jobs".Not so with this group...I see genuine efforts to assist each other in working for the best possible solutions. I woke up at 4:30 AM this morning thinking about discussions from yesterday. Kudos' to Lew and others whose style is emerging with just the right amount of forceful pressure and still making it fun at the same time. Good things should come from such a style.
