Sat, 12 Jun 2010 20:16:27 +0000http://www.makingchutney.com/?p=1575#comment-15753Right on. I think anyone who is going into GA with their mind made up and set in stone over this is doing everyone a disservice.

[There’s only one thing I’m set in stone on (the presidential search committee – that’s getting a loud no vote from me) going into GA.]

I get frustrated when we want to make big statements that don’t have much impact, but it’s good to remember that our statement-making comes from our good intentions.
