Work like an old married couple!

We just returned from a quick winter break.

Well it wasn’t a complete break, because the phones continued to ring, projects were completed, and emails inboxes were filled and then emptied.

At least we weren’t in the office for a few days.

I found myself in South Florida… (Shameless plug for the cheap Alegiant Airlines flight… Two Thumbs Up!)

I spent time with a married couple that are friends of ours, and they happen to be in their 90′s.

They are husband and wife, and they are soul mates.  They are lovers through and through.  They go with one another to their respective doctors appointments, they fight speeding tickets together, and they even share the same bottle for hair coloring (no joke).

This same couple disagrees on various political issues, they argue about what to eat, how to dress, and which doctors are the best in the region.  They fight, they cry, they laugh, and they love.  They don’t go to sleep angry with one another, and they never have.  At times they are critical, but they are forever dedicated to one another.

What a week

?Oh wow.  What a week.

Just last Thursday morning I was returning to work from my post-Thanksgiving slumber.

I took a short vacation, seeking some much needed rest.

I returned to Savannah (re)energized.  Ready to tackle some serious to-do list items, and to prepare for this week that is now coming to a close.

On Wednesday, December 8th, we held our fourth board meeting, and among other things, we reviewed our financials and prepared for the difficult task of creating a diversified revenue generation model.

Our Wednesday morning meeting left me excited, and helped me rally through the night.

We hosted our Design Charrette on Wednesday night, and we were overwhelmed by the turnout.

We packed the house, and stuffed everyone into the Creative Coast HQ at 15 West York.

Board member Christian Sottile had prepared an amazing presentation that at one point compared the streets of Rome to the friendly confines of Savannah.

He encouraged attendees to think of our workspace as a public space, a place for intellectual and entrepreneurial enlightenment.

He energized the crowd, and, after dividing the room into teams, he encouraged them to develop team specific strategies for the space.
