Fifteen Minute County: Winter Weather Awareness Week

Fifteen Minute County: Winter Weather Awareness Week

Sorry this is a rush in what used to be morning but has failed in that. DeMille told us to get something out about the direct impact of the messaging in the new week just getting revved up for the three weeks to XMS after Turkey Day. There is a bunch of it and Splash […]

Fifteen Minute County: The Light Astern

Fifteen Minute County: The Light Astern

The week is already starting out with a roar, so DeMille told us to cool it a little bit on a Monday that is an actual First day of a new week in the last month. There had been some discussion about what pony to attempt to ride as the last new moon of this […]

Emojis of December

Emojis of December

So, the outbreak today started with those things in the circles above. They mix the political ones with the emoji of how Kristina felt after the scooter mishap. Plowing across the streams of conversation was the football thing that DeMille nixed insertion on the heading as “too provocative.” Stay with something safe like senior accidents […]

Fifteen Minute County: Saturday’s Monday

Fifteen Minute County: Saturday’s Monday

The Holiday-made Monday tempo collided with Saturday and there was dislocation in the air, some attempting to relax and others underway with the list of things that need to get done. Some Black Friday stuff to wrap up. A stop at the Credit Union in the chill set the right mood. Awake. Also the storm […]

FMC: Dim Sum at the Duck House

FMC: Dim Sum at the Duck House

Ambivalent morning. Lot of people getting up in crowded houses. Orion had parked his belt in the sky just over the summit of the west wing at Big Pink.

This was on the screen glowing on the device on the conference room. We assumed was set to “alert” to encourage some sort of response.

Mark’s Duck House

The President was speaking this morning, something with which we share challenges. The moments in fresh air, the door swinging open under the clouds and fresh breeze was livening, But it was laid on top of the Production Meeting and the collective urgency to be doing some other things that need to be settled before […]

The Fifteen Minute County

The Fifteen Minute County

There is a lot going on here, and DeMille said to draft something with apologies with a flashy graphic at the top and figure out how to track what appears to be noise about general war in Europe- the one with rockets and NATO or EU forces somehow entering the conflict in Ukraine with troops […]

Morning Edition

Morning Edition

Goodness, what a week that just passed! In included First Snow here, big fluffy flakes that came down with gray chill gusty drizzle for a while. It was a seasonal adjustment to the smoking area on the Patio and consequently everything needed to be done in the conference room with the big flatscreen adding low […]

Vapor Lock

Vapor Lock

“Not all those who wander are lost.” J.R.R. Tolkien “But sometimes the wanderers aren’t aware of where they are going.” Vic Socotra Vapor had that look on his face at the picnic table. It was crisp with that cold front that swept through last night and the waning moon hung bright in the blue sky. […]
