What? Meeting of the burning-book bylaws task force
Where? The Cedar
When? Evening of Monday, November 26
Writing the bylaws of incorporation of a non-profit organization is one of the most thankless activities that one can do to love their community. Knowingly, I offered to host the first of many bylaws meetings at my house and prepared for it conscientiously by providing the only ingredient that guarantees success in any meeting among human beings: a crockpot of chili. My beloved mother would disown me if she knew, but if I had to choose only one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be chili. Oh yeah.
I will blog about this as winter sets in, but one of my goals for this season is to not use heating, or use it only if it's strictly necessary to avoid that the pipes freeze. So I did not turn on the heat for the meeting, and as the euphoria provided by the chili started to wear off, sleeves started rolling down, arms started crossing on top of tummies, and people started to feel chills down their spines. They all fought it off nicely, though. Good crowd.
In summary, the magical energy provided by the chili triumphed over the inhospitable conditions of the place I call my house, and enabled us to draft the first third of the articles of incorporation for the Burning Book in a little over two hours.
