Friends as in Religious Society of, with many lowercase among them, have gathered to plan future meetings, which sounds boring I know, but that's what we do: meet. For some, that's in anticipation of some future action. For us, that future action will minimally include meetings.
I served as chauffeur this time, escorting my middle schooler, lugging a laptop. I'm not trying to steer stuff at this level, got me blogs to keep current. So I'm back in a corner office while the meeting, after some pizza, gets under way.
Earlier today I wore my tie to some business meetings regarding this or that data, database programmer that I am. Not that I always wear a tie of course, but I've been shopping recently, and felt like road testing some of the combos, having tried out the completely new suit on my birthday recently.
