Interesting Day

May 8, 2008
 
I got almost nothing done today.

I say "almost" because I did at least get to burn a DVD full of the data I've been working on and send it to the other geologists in my company. But all that happened before 8:00 AM.

At 9:00, I had a meeting downtown to talk to my financial advisor about whether I can retire next year. Then on to a coffee appointment at my office away from home, Main Street Bagels.

For some reason, today was a day to run into people I know. A vice president of my bank. A reporter from the Free Press. An attorney friend and a former mayor. Everyone was chatty today. I got to talk and listen. Time flew. It was noon before I got to leave downtown for my next set of errands.

Impacts on my productivity aside, it's always fun to gossip. Days like today remind me that you can still bump into an ex-mayor at a sidewalk table; that as hard as this community has been trying to grow up, it's still Mayberry after all.
