Most of Saturday afternoon was devoted to the quarterly membership meeting of Clann Tartan. It seemed to go quite well; some organizational problems were discussed at length, three solutions were proposed, and one was chosen by a clear vote of the membership. Then elections were held to fill some vacant positions. These went well, with clear results. Nobody lost their temper in the course of the afternoon. Seemed like a good meeting, and afterwards several of us went over to the Groveland Tap for a pleasant late lunch and a few beers. I thought it was a good afternoon’s work, and felt quite pleased with the day.
Appearances can be deceiving. Checking my e-mail this morning I found two exceptionally unpleasant msgs from someone who had been at the meeting and at the bar afterwards. This was completely unexpected–nothing in what he said yesterday suggested he would write these things. rillaspins received the same e-mails (for the same reason), and there is some discussion of it on her Live Journal. I was really shocked by this, and it took me while to readjust to our family’s Sunday routine.
