the sunny south

Good morning everyone!

I’m camping out in a hotel room in Jacksonville, Florida, waiting for a meeting to start later today, wherein I need to convince my friends (and a fair number of unknown new entities) at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida that they need to keep me happily working for them.

There was a pretty big “reorganization” in the office a couple of months ago, and a bunch of the people that i’ve worked with for the past five or six years all got shuffled right out of their jobs. Others got promoted. So I’m here to sweet talk the promotees and their new staffs. Promoting myself has never been my strong suit, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I also thought you’d all want to know that the peepers are peeping in Vermont. The chives are up and have been used in salads. Daffodils are blooming madly, with tulips about to pop, as well. So, even though the temperatures insist upon staying relatively low, I do believe that spring is coming. And yes, we’ve planted spinach! Another month before anything else goes in…but there you go. Vermont is not South Carolina (or Tennesee for that matter).

And I think that’s basically the news that is the news from Cornwall/Jacksonville.
