Closing in on time to go home…
Well time for a quick fill-in on the weekend past…
Friday’s Conference Call
First, back to Friday afternoon. I forgot to tell you about my first conference call done while not in America and via the internet. Clint Dunham, my dear friend, had hooked me up with Vonage before I left the States and that has allowed me to avoid having to buy calling cards and being stuck calling Tanya from the sauna known as the NTC phone booth. This entire trip I have called her from the relative serenity of my bedroom, while propped up on my bed with pillows and lounging in my shorts and t-shirt.
So, I participated in a very important and serious conference call on Friday for the Money and The Navigators group that is looking at forming resourcing communities to support the international work of the Navs. All went well for the most part, except for the fact that when I get excited (me?) I tend to speak louder and closer to the microphone, evidently giving my the sound quality of the teachers on Charlie Brown.
