Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, or should I say Lapin, Kaninchen, coniglio. Each month starts off with new hopes, and on this blog, I like to start with the old superstition that saying Rabbit, Rabbit, in some form will bring luck. Today, August 1st, is also Swiss National Day, so perhaps saying Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit in French, German and Italian, three of the major languages of Switzerland would be appropriate.

Hopefully, August will be less rainy than June and July have been. We did get a call from the Country Club of Woodbridge letting us know that the pool is now open and they are accepting pool memberships. We may head over and swim today. Later, we hope to head over to the Orange Volunteer Firemen’s Carnival.

On Monday, I will go to the UNESCO International Leadership Training Programme: A Global Intergenerational Forum at University of Connecticut. The trial of Anthony Maio is also scheduled to start on Monday. I probably won’t make it to the court on Monday, but I am thinking of attending some of the trial later in the week.

Meanwhile, I have plenty of pending blog posts to complete, as well as continuing to dig out from under all the emails and other social media messages that have piled up. There is also work to do on some financial services consulting and some campaign consulting.

So, that’s a brief look at the coming month. What are you up to?
