Working the list

So we have started working on the long list of items to be handled prior to hitting the road on Sunday.  There is a daunting amount of things to take care of between now and then so we are utilizing lists to try to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.  With Cindy being home during the week it definitely gives us an advantage over prior years.

I will be skipping out of work a little early today to get to work on draft party prep which involves a lot of furniture moving, food/drink prep and AV configuration.  As usual I will do the bare minimum for my team (The Green Machine) draft prep besides having a ranked list of players in front of me.  It has served me well in the past so why change?

Once the party is out of the way the race on Saturday comes into the foreground however trip prep needs to be going on simultaneously.  I am crossing my fingers we have a few hot, bright, sunny days with no rain so we get an opportunity to give the grounds a thorough haircut before we head out.

Cindy pointed out the other day that we just rolled through another full moon cycle which is probably why I have been feeling generally lousy with my disposition recently.  There have been some external situations that didn’t help matters much.  I am crossing my fingers that the road trip will be a good way to clear my mental plate and come back with a suitcase full of fresh memories to cherish forever.  I just hope the chickens are ok.
