Program Council had further discussion about the proposed positions. We discussed what worked well with this year's process and what didn't. We plan to solicit feedback across the division in order to improve the process the next time.

How did you use your extra hour this weekend? I pretty much slept through mine. My goal was to get through a bit of a cold and laryngitis. I'm not sure how much it helped. I did also get out to see the sandhill cranes in Woodbridge, as did others that arrived by the bus load.

To clarify, it was not that I did not have anything to do last week; I just didn't have many meetings scheduled. The week of few meetings is clearly over. It was actually over by Friday when the day was very much focused on doing things differently in order to gain better position going forward.

I noticed the Davis skeleton was welcoming visitors to the building again this morning, after having spent some time in the elevator and on the exercise bike. The skeleton appears to now be waiting for a meeting to begin.

Tuesday afternoon I headed to Des Moines to participate in the Borlaug Dialogue and World Food Prize events.
