Countdown to Kentucky Round-Up

What's Kentucky Round-Up?

Flu or Not the Flu? That is the Question.

Last Saturday we had our annual Board Retreat, and two of the Board members missed due to the flu.  It seems to be going around more this year, at least among people I know.  And it is particularly long lasting.

So this morning when I got up and didn't feel well, I immediately thought "Oh NO, I CAN'T get the flu, I just don't have time for that."  You know what I mean, I'm sure you've been there.  Things upon things stacked up waiting to be done, and you don't feel so great.

I stayed at home and kept company with my computer.  Not the best friend to have around, but he doesn't talk back and only occasionally forgets his manners and hiccups. Oh, plus the sidekick of the mobile phone.  The three of us spent a nice day at home -- WORKING!

I'm not really complaining.  If you are over 50, you will probably remember the days when there wasn't much you could do from your home, so if you felt sick but needed to get something done at work, you had to drag yourself in to the office. Now -- FREEDOM!!!  Sitting at home working today wasn't as great as if I had just gone back to bed, but it's better than dragging into the office feeling half dead (and maybe passing some illness onto the other KHC staff).

So some Kentucky Round-Up stuff got done today... finalized the ticket design.  Tweaked the billboard design. Got list of benefits lined up for Tarter.  Reminded speakers of their times.  Reserved room for tomorrow's meeting and sent a notice.   Signed a contract with the Clarion (our "official" hotel) .. and a bunch of other stuff too detailed to list.

The good news is - it's not the flu. So I'll be back to full speed tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Kelsea our newest employee is not feeling good... so maybe THAT'S the flu?

Argh!  It finds you wherever you are.

Wishing you health until at least tomorrow...
