Life continues to be just a little too busy for the Butterworths. My source of time consumption comes in the way of work. I am currently serving as chairman of the Berkshire Visitors Bureau http://www.berkshires.org/ , the state recognized tourism promotion organization for our region. It's a very interesting and enjoyable volunteer activity for me. However, about a year ago, the president of the BVB retired after 23 years, and I have been overseeing the search and hiring process to replace him. Happily, that has all come to a good conclusion this month as the new leader has taken over and my interaction with the organization will be reduced to a more manageable amount of time.
On the home front, during the winter melt-off, our backyard again turned into a pond, flooding our basement with about four feet of water, and giving us yet another thing to deal with. Incredible assistance from friends and neighbors helped us clean up pretty quickly the day after, and now Amy is dealing with the deeper clean up, reorganization and finding a landscaper to do some reconstruction work. Oh well.
I am writing this morning from Boston, where I am for a short conference. Last night I had a great dinner with Tim and got caught up on several things with him. I have a ton to write about - some really great stuff, and just need to find the time to do it justice. I also have half a posting about Jancy to complete so you can get caught up on the Ghanaian Tourist.
That's if for now, more to come soon, I hope - just wanted you to know that the kids are alright.
