I'm sitting on the porch of the Ping-Pong room one final time. The Wi-fi reception is great on this particular bench, and I know that in the future, the smell of mothballs will make the NEA Retreat at Camp Winnebago come back in a Proustian rush, I just went down to look at the lake once more, but you almost can't look at the lake, because the morning sun is shining off it with such brilliance.
I haven't had the chance to write blog plots about everything I've wanted to, so I'll post a future more through the weekend when I'm back home, in the interest of posterity, documentation, etc, I wanted to post this one just under the wire, and anyone who happens to read this while traveling might be inclined to comment.
I think it's fair to assume that everyone had a good and productive time. It's probably also fair to ask "Is there anything you would have done differently?" and "Is there any aspect of the retreat you would change for the future?" Last night I was talking to someone who, while acknowledging that it was a strategic retreat, wished there had been a little more time for workshops on ensemble-making process. Any other tweaks or suggestions?
Better run and pack my suitcase. I defnitely need to find a safe place for my rock. I picked up a rock from the road just now (I may trade it for a better one if I notice one). As per Terry's suggestion at the campfire last night, I'm only borrowing it.

I agreed with a comment from Terry Greiss that we need to add a day to the gathering for more time. Definitely more sessions on ensemble process would be great.
