“We’d like to pick your brain,” read the subject line of the email. I can guess what it’s about since I receive similar inquiries a few times a year. The temperature is hovering around zero, so I cross my fingers. Mentally, anyway.
It’s usually about a paddling festival, although sometimes a club, which is the case of this one. Good to have a change of pace since I have two festivals in the hopper. I’m willing to do it free and via email, but many of them would like me to attend a board or committee meeting.
I don’t mind that either, because it’s an opportunity to paddle other places. Except, the timing and locations never seem to fulfill my desires.
The two festivals I’m assisting now are in Tennessee and Minnesota, hardly great escapes this time of year. I have hopes for this one and open the email.
Nope. The club is a few degrees of latitude north of here. Rats. Why is it the festivals and clubs in Hawaii, Florida or Greek Isles never request help?
