This was a very long day. It involved a late night returning from Cottonwood , in an auto that seemed to be on its final breath, followed by a hectic morning taking my car to the car doctor, then renting a vehicle to get me to a scheduled meeting in Tucson with area pastors, while taking care of the niceties associated with the anticipated visit to the campus of Thunderbird Academy by the members of the Alumni Awards Foundation.
The Tucson meeting went well. It was positive and constructive. The expectations are rising and people seem to be willing to work towards a common goal. Yet, soon after the conclusion of that meeting I was informed by the mechanics that indeed the condition of my 2004 Toyota Prius, which had served me for close to seven years, was on life support. I returned in time to sign the release papers for my dying car, visit a local dealership, and ultimately depart the lot with a newer version of my old car—a 2010 Toyota Prius! May God preserve this car as well as He did my first Prius—243,000 miles! Amazingly I got $3,500 dollars trade-in on it! That alone is a small miracle, considering it was on its death bed.
I am about to go home from the office at about 11:30 p.m., after having produced and sent out my weekly newsletter (two days late!), in addition to returning phone calls and taking care of some overdue paperwork. The pace will pick up tomorrow. More AAF meetings are slated. Personnel and School Board in Glenview follows a full day of meetings at the conference office. Good night, folks! Tomorrow will arrive soon enough.
