Putting the minutes into order
The first snowfall photos are coming in from across the nation; I guess we’ll have to accept that we won’t get a pass to compensate for a lost year in our lives. Don’t get me wrong; going out on snowshoes or skis is a good thing. It’s just the setting aside of several months more. I don’t even get storm days, any more.
The province of Quebec has put another 28 days on the penalty clock. Again, it doesn’t affect me, but I do hear rumblings of discontent from those that are either without jobs or school. Is this going to be the “new normal”? Well, the province of Ontario is about to announce their own version of confinement. Yes, I pay attention. What if someone locally does something really stupid, and our months of effort to “contain the crisis” are wasted? It could happen.
This afternoon, I took some time to put my “minutes in order” for a local community group. Here’s the thing. There have been no meetings since last February, and although we’re going to hold a (scaled back) version of the AGM, later this week, I don’t expect people to turn out in huge numbers. Even if there’s nothing on TV. I will do my reading of the minutes from eighteen months ago, which is a formality. I don’t think that anyone will notice if the dates seem screwy. Or that we don’t actually do much, from year to year.
I should find a couple of pens that still have ink. Recording, for posterity, the decisions that might be taken.
