The first week back to school has been much easier this year
in terms of jet lag—but hard in terms of jumping right back into the trials of
the governance issues of the Board. We were greeted with an email early in the
week saying that we were inviting a couple of candidates to visit the school
over the weekend. We had 5 days notice and a rough schedule of events and times
was given on Thursday evening. By Friday evening (8:17) we got an email citing “last
minute visa issues” as the reason for pushing the visits back to the end of
January. Everyone was a little relieved and mostly not surprised. The fears
that we had about a shallow candidate pool, very difficult timing and a
disorganized process are being confirmed each step of the way.
On the home front, this weekend was pretty relaxing. I didn’t
have to work much on Saturday and went with Nicolas and Scott to INA and did
some shopping. Laura and I went with the Gregors to Director’s Cut to watch “The
Force Awakens”. It was awesome. In the evening I watched as Chelsea drew and
Tottenham won; we ate Moti Mahal. Yesterday I took the gals to Mary Catherine
and Richard Frazier’s house for the New Year’s Party—black eyed peas. It was
great fun and the girls came away with lucky coins and prizes.
The air is still bad 325 this morning.
