Mom? They're dragging cows up into the trees, now.

LOL!

The pecan groves in Roswell are one of the few businesses that still exist there. We had 2 trees at my house, and used a short iron pipe on a rope to knock the nuts down. We'd get about 2 bushels for ourselves each year.

Guys, I'm writing a test question for my computer science class that is basically "Buffistas moving to a new board - the test question". (I'm not naming the board)

Fancy words like "change management", "beta testing", "data migration", "stakeholders", "bug reports", etc. are all being thrown around - I'm basically using it, in context, as an example of a change being done WELL. Gud, naturally, looks real good in my narrative. =)

msbelle, JenP - I seem to have deleted my card email by accident. Can someone resend?

Thank you.

Sure thing, smonster. Sending shortly...

ETA: Sent.

As he should!

That’s so cool Gris!

Got it, jenp, thank you.

Volans, I think that sounds like a good, but tough job

Gris, that assignment sounds great. I kind of wish someone could give an assignment about or voting discussion because ai think it is fascinating and also a good example of something that felt contentious, but yet everyone was pretty civil, ended up with a good process, and then, afterwards, we never use it!

Volans, that sounds excellent, and knowing you're going to be one of the people helping put all the pieces in place is incredibly comforting.

Cindy, you'd asked about the link I'd posted on FB--here it is. A Cambridge professor and head of their biomedical research program with a crapton of experience in clinical trials explaining what usually goes into all the many years it takes to get any medication from the lab to the patient, and why the abbreviated timeline in this case isn't as worrisome as it might seem.

Time and date to the Buffistas Holidays Zoom (with sprogs!)
