The Day Before a Trip

Samples of our February issue arrived yesterday, and Diane got
contributors copies into the mail today.

Spent much of the day doing last-minute prep for our Contributing Editors Retreat, which happens tomorrow evening through Friday afternoon in Orlando. Eleven of our 12 contributing editors are coming, the best attendance we've had in awhile. I'm looking forward to a good meeting; we always enjoy great fellowship with this diverse group of good people, and we look forward to the input they'll give us for future directions of Christian Standard.
I'll leave tomorrow by 6:45 to make sure I get through rush hour traffic in a timely fashion for a 9:15 flight. Jennifer and I are going to stay through Sunday and play in Orlando after the retreat is finished. Evelyn, ever loyal and duty driven, decided not to join us because she has classes to plan and meetings to attend Friday. Maybe next year!
I'm spending this evening packing and doing some last-minute correspondence before being gone several days.
