This day has been given to one of the things I have to do in my role of leading Youthfront as President/CEO. Budgets, numbers, spreadsheets, making decisions, ugggghhhhhhhh. For the joy set before me I endure the pain.... Fortunately, there are a group of people around me that dig this stuff - Topher, Brian and Linda. They can make numbers make sense. I even think that numbers are as beautiful to them as musical notes are to me. So, here I sit in the Whistlestop Coffee Shop in Lee's Summit. Topher is deep in numbers, spreadsheets, and financial reports... I, on the other hand, am taking a short break, thankful for wireless Internet...
