It is a cold and miserable day here in Lakewood; it is cold
and we are experiencing freezing drizzle. The forecast calls for snow today if
the front that started moving through last night should finish its transit. But
by then, I should be comfortably ensconced on a plane. By Friday mid-morning,
that’s tomorrow from my perspective, I should be happily basking in the warmth
of the late summer of Australia!
The packing and cleaning is done, what preparations I have
to make have been made. In fact, if it is not done by now, it isn’t going to
get done. If it is not in one of the bags packed by the door, it is not headed
to Australia. I guess some time over the next couple weeks I will come to
discover what “it” might be that I am forgetting.
I am not sure why, at this point in my career – after over
twenty years of business travel – I always have this last-minute fear that I
have forgotten something! It is annoying, but I suppose that it is this moment
of self-assessment that makes most of my trips so successful. I know that it is
unlikely that I have forgotten anything, but running through the checklist
never hurts!
So, relatively certain that noting has been forgotten, I
suppose that there is nothing to do but to wait for the car. It should be here
some time early this afternoon, so I suppose it is time to sit back and wait.
So I guess I will just pack-up the computer and settle back to wait.
Wherever you are today I hope that all of your preparations
have been made and you are ready for your day!
