Happy Wednesday!
Woke up this morning with ambition to get my run in for the
day before work. I decided against it for two reasons. A) I was tired. 2) My
shoes are so worn out that I’ve been having a lot of foot and knee pain lately.
I’m not super interested in sticking to my training schedule at the expense of
my muscles and bones in my feet and my left knee. My body has been thanking me
profusely all day because of my decision.
Work was steady but not as busy. We had a ton of phone calls
until about 3:00 and then the phone just went silent. It was really weird.
Before the phones settled down, however, I made reservations for Martha Stewart
and her party and then a separate one for Nelson Rockefeller and his party.
They both have very nice assistants who called from New York City phone numbers.
Sometimes when I make reservations with folks calling from New York City I feel
like I’m in the movie Elf. The caller
is Deborah, a professional and sophisticated individual, and I am Buddy the
Elf, a likable yet slightly awkward phone conversationalist. At least I don’t
ask them what their favorite color is…
After work I met up with Maggie for a walk on the carriage
roads and dinner at the Jordan Pond House. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation
and the sea scallops weren't bad either.
I am now ready to make a big announcement…after nice 20 day
break following my time here in Acadia I will be heading to the Furnace Creek
Inn in Death Valley National Park to join the winter ACMNP ministry team. I
just applied for jobs at the Inn so I don’t have employment finalized yet.
Nonetheless, you can start making plans to come out sometime between November
10 and May 1 to visit me in the desert.
