Worked on UTM contracts and other matters. Also trimmed down the marketing list for DOG. Regular weekly UTM meetings mid day. Worked in a few moments to start drafting overview piece for the library.

The cold is not ending. Temperature at 7am.
Met with Agi Clark at Cascades to explore possible modes for her to engage the library project. 90 minute discussion. She has owned a house in Taghkanic across the lake since 1976. Now living on Warren St. as an experiment. Background on the creative side of advertising. Not a committee person. interested in engaging the poorer parts of the community. Knows Joanie Hunt at Promise Neighborhood. Also spoke of the need to video everything we do. Perhaps get a high school student involved.
Talked with Seth about UTM. Disaster with Troy Web last week not managing Apple app licenses and loosing connection to the CMH app. New CMH website now in web developer slow down…… still spelling errors in the text. More about the aggravations with Angie Keefer. He also now had some nagging damage to right shoulder from a fall earlier in the winter.
Tuesday – 2/10/15
Shoveled garage doorway out so that I could drive car to UTM. In the end, though the storm carried on for almost 24 hrs. it only left 8 inches of snow here.
Meeting at UTM with Seth, Eliel and Jan to discuss development costs. David stuck his head in but did not attend. After almost a year we are still in a situation where there is no plan or none that anyone is adhering too.
Left UTM meeting to come home for a meeting of the HAL Nominating Committee. I scheduled this on Tuesday because David had cancelled the regular weekly UTM meetings on Tuesdays. Because of the repeated snow storms, this committee meeting has been rescheduled twice. Today, out of six members, only Marie Rasner and Gwen Gould showed up. Still a good productive meeting. Talked a somewhat reluctant Gwen into serving as Treasurer for one year. Brian Stickles who I bumped into at KASH just this morning has committed to being Treasurer next year after he finishes his MBA.
Karen decided not to go to Boston tomorrow because the snow storms – 77″ of snow in 17 days – have paralyzed the place.
Monday – Tuesday 2/2/15 – 2/3/15
Snow storm that was predicted to be 12 – 18 inches veered away to sea leaving us with 8 or so inches. Enough to cause trouble but nothing big. Boston gots lots. NYC not so much though they shut the city down in anticipation.
Lengthy UTM telecon with Seth, Troy Web and Jan. Way too much background grinding by Seth. Boring, excruciating. Very little gained from 1 1/2 hrs.
A snow day extending into Tuesday. We went for walks both days in snow. Nice crunching sounds.
Wednesday – 1/21/15 – back to UTM
Gym in the morning. Lasted only 15 minutes on bicycle. Very out of shape.
Met with Seth for first time since December. 2 hr history of last six weeks at UTM. More craziness because David continues to drop people into the mix with no consultation or plan. Latest is Angie Keefer who is another of David’s infatuations. She appeared at a meeting last December and claimed to know things about web design and user experience. No evident experience on mobile though. While I was away she caused a ruckus attacking the revised website as outdated before it was even launched.
