retreat update #1

ok, so.....i am on a work retreat.....so far not relaxing as we mostly traded vaccine tales of woe over a heartburn-quality supper of ribs and baked beans....my current book on cd finished well before i arrived, and i struggled to get npr in this neck of the woods....we have a working breakfast, lunch and supper tomorrow...and while this is the only way that sponsors can pay for meals, i am not looking forward to a 7:30 am breakfast speaker....go figure.....
