Camera Roll 23: A Swell Board Meeting

 I think the world would be a better place if this was the standard business meeting culture... 

 (give it a minute to load)

This over achieving board member shows us how to "plop onto [a] swirl":


'Surf'ice to say, today is a good day for some swell poetry. 

Buffy has the round up...Join us for Poetry Friday!

      Cowabunga, Irene! It is a sight to behold - the surfers are SO skilled! It was awesome to see an older gentleman that was shredding it just as much as the young folk. Board-om knows no age limits! ;)

    Who knew that river surfing in Germany was a thing? Not me, but sounds like a perfect (maybe draining? maybe scary?) board meeting.

    Bridget, it’s a laugh a minute with your wit! Being a curriculum district director, I was in the boardroom watching the antics. Of course, they were not skilled with swirls and current moves but there was plenty of roaring sessions. Thanks for making me smile!

    Since I am 'entering' a Board Meeting this coming Monday, I will be sure to tell them all we've missed our calling! In landlocked Colorado, guess we could only climb a fourteener! Love that you wrote about these amazing Board-ers!

    Very swell indeed, Bridget! You've written about the most fun board meetings ever.

    Dude! I could never surf, but I would happily sit on the sidelines and sip something sublime. :) You had such fun with this, Bridget, and in turn, so did we. Thanks!
