4:03 and no one's here

it was 4:03, the meeting was supposed to start at 4:00 and not one person was there. not one...out of 28. is this a bad omen for my coming year? please say no!

yes, today was the leadership retreat for my students. and it was supposed to start at 4:00, and it was in wilmington. and the first group of people showed up at 4:07.

this was the first gathering of my new leadership team. i don't want to be pessimistic but that can't be a great sign.

but after a delayed very typical wilmington start we began. and actually, it was a fine meeting. people were pretty interested in the topics, they were talking, and actually seemed pretty excited about the fall events.

so who knows what this fall will be like. i think i am looking towards the fall. i mean, i've done this a lot but there is also an energy about this time of the year which is nice.

so 4:07 and the fun began...and the fun keeps going.
