ANGIE
I really love the sound of a bike drive. You're right that the engineers would have a field day. I can send something out looking for volunteers to get involved with that.
Christmas gala with a charity auction also sounds great. Depending on the day it's scheduled and when Joy shows, I don't know how accessible I would be for it, but I'd like to be involved in the planning as much as possible leading up to it. Being able to show off the new tech would be a great perk, as long as we strike that nice balance that it doesn't distract too much from the charity aspects. We usually do a good job straddling that kind of thing.
I'll never understand people that run for fun in general, but I suppose this is running for a cause so maybe I can get that a bit better. Maybe let's check what other 5k's might be scheduled around then and if there's too many, we could potentially hold for for something for the new year.
