ANR Adventures

I'm past the halfway point of my 20-day week now. There's so much information and reflection swirling around in my head that I'm afraid I'm going to lose much of it before I have a chance to fully process it.

I feel like I'm not quite to the halfway point of a 20-day week. I'm attending a conference today and tomorrow. This morning's session focused on hunger as a health issue. That's not new information to me.

I mentioned last week that visits to the counties really help me see successes and challenges in context. Today was full of that sentiment.

Regardless of whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow, budgets were due this week. The Resource Planning & Management team goes to great lengths to improve, streamline and clarify the process but even so there's a mad rush to get things in on time.

It's hard to find enough time these days to keep up on the essential things so some of you might be wondering how I justify taking time and incurring the expense to visit our facilities around the state.
