Meetings is a word that does spell out the character of my day. The first meeting involved writing the CFF grant for next year. I have worked on some grants, but the involvement of this one is quite extensive. We are considering getting Macs for this phase of the grant. It would include some changes to the network, but I have always liked the dual-platformed concept; I even feel the tri-platform as even better. In the afternoon, I attended a CFF meeting at IU10 in Philipsburg. The meeting gave CFF coaches a chance to network and look at work from the various schools. We also had a the opportunity to talk with our regional representative from PDE. We expressed some of our concerns with her, but we also told her of our triumphs. It is sometimes difficult dealing with bureaucracy, and when one deals with a person face-to-face, it is somewhat comforting, although there is always that cynicism developed innately through years of dealing with the government. Being out all day means that I will have to do a lot of catch up tomorrow. It is the law of the West. The weekend is around the corner.
