No, not that kind of retreat.<\/p>\n

As part of my new membership in our parish vestry, I'm spending most of the weekend (starting this evening) up at the Cathedral Ridge conference center for our annual vestry retreat, wherein we get to know each other, discuss plans and strategies for the next year, talk God stuff, and things like that.<\/p>\n

Of course, the picture doesn't exactly look like that right now, but the temps up there aren't much different from those down here in Denver, so I'm not too worried. I've been up there once before , and it's a nice place. It needs some serious work from the condition it was in when we bought it, but the core facilities are sound.<\/p>\n

I seem to recall they had WiFi up there, so I won't be completely out of touch. But I probably won't be tweeting the proceedings, either.<\/p>\n
