Minimal posting tonight

It has been a hella long day for both Jen and me. I took my Dad out to lunch with two visitors from the University of Pittsburgh where he used to teach. They were in Seattle for a function and drove up this morning to visit. I then had a meeting with Sustainable Connections where they talked about a clever web-based tool to connect commercial food buyers (Chef's, Grocery Stores, etc...) with local farmers. Very well run meeting, fascinating ideas and recognized a lot of faces. Finally, I had been nominated to serve on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce -- they had their Annual General Meeting tonight and Jen and I showed up about 30 minutes late. They had already held the elections and I am now on the board! I'll never show up late for one of their meetings again! (grin) Jen's day was even more fun. I usually do the Friday buying run for the store but couldn't because of my Dad's thing. The two keystones for the Friday run is picking up the order from our Organic Distributor at an address in Bellingham (they don't drive out to where we are). We then run back out to the store so our staff can start pricing and stocking these goods. This order is dropped off in the early morning. We then need to meet with one of our Dairy guys at the same address at 3:00pm. Well, Jen gets there around 10:00am - no order. She then goes to some of our other vendors, swings back, no order. It's two and there isn't time to drop everything off at the store and come back to meet the Dairy guy so she hangs out, gets the Dairy and then proceeds to do the rest of the shopping. It is 4:30, I have gotten out of the Sustainable Connections meeting and give her a call on her cell phone to see what she wants for dinner. I figure that her day went normally and she is at the store. I frequently stop and get takeout for us to eat at home. I find that she is also in town and that the Organic Distributor has still not shown up, that she is on contact with them and they say that it's a new driver and he was lost... I swing by the drop-off point and get a call from Jen that the driver is a few blocks away but can't drop off because of the traffic. (it's a busy commercial district right right at prime dinner time). I find him, we pull into a nearby warehouse parking lot, I call Jen back and she rendezvous with us and we get things loaded. We swing back to the store, drop everything off and head out to the Chamber meeting. Like I say, long day and it's time for a glass or two of wine and off to bed...

Cool idea BUT... was the previous entry in this blog.

A bureaucratic mix-up and some fast backpedaling is the next entry in this blog.
