Being the logistics coordinator for the Great Peace March forged me in the fire of "if you come, it will be built."

This can totally be done.

Marshaling the will, resources and energy is something else entirely.

I'm totally on board as part of the exploratory committee, wherever it may go.

eta: grammar!

I feel like this is now the thread to report instances of kicking ass. In that spirit, and in ita's, on Saturday not only did I participate in a "Town Hall Forum" meeting with local state Representatives and a state Senator, but also the coordinators had me speak first because they knew I'd done well testifying before the state legislature's Aging and Long Term Care committee and could handle the nerves of speaking first. So I did. Originally I had planned to give the same little speech I'd used before, but realized that one of the Reps actually chaired that committee meeting and had already heard it. This time, I gave a couple of anecdotes about the difference that knowledge and experience makes and asked them to support a rate increase so that more of my coworkers can afford to stick around long enough to gain more knowledge and experience.

Tone aside, "what ita would have" aside, I'm with Kat. You need lots of boots on the ground for something like this and, well, Not It.

Awesome kickassery Andi!

Go, WS!!!

Good for you, WS. Sadly, I'm not a great planner. Once something is planned, I can help make it happen, though.

When I saw pictures of Andy Murray's wedding I though how much ita would have loved to have seen a top tennis player getting married in a kilt. (Another entry for the Men in Kilts website!)

You guys. I want ita's opinion of thread proposals in Bureaucracy. I want it so bad.

Right? It's a gut punch.

She would especially have a lot of thoughts about this one.
