Well, I jinxed myself. After crowing about the terrific snow we’ve had, this week was warm, sunny, and had sufficient rain that most of the snow is now gone. Me and my big mouth. On the other hand, that means there is plenty of dry pavement and thus I can run outside. Between a busy week of work, the AILG plenary, IRDF meeting and WILG board meeting, I didn’t make it outside for a run until yesterday, but it was beautiful. I’m sure I’ll make it out at least once more this weekend.

In the mean time, it’s become a President’s Day tradition to write performance reviews over the long weekend. I already had one done and one mostly drafted, so it was a better start than most years. I hope to finish 4 more before Monday, leaving only 2 others to complete during the week. My typical approach is to make a fire, sit in the recliner with my laptop, and type away until I get tired and the fire dies down. I believe that a cozy fire and a glass of wine create the right mood for giving gentle but constructive feedback and reflecting on a year’s worth of accomplishments.
