While traveling to central Jersey, I had about three hours solo in the car, which was a perfect chance to get caught up on my favorite podcasts and also listen to a couple of lectures that I purchased from The Teaching Company. I am a fan of both of these formats--podcasts and audio lectures--and used my time behind the wheel this afternoon to good advantage.
Our group of athletic directors from the Eight Schools Association (Andover, Choate, Deerfield, Exeter, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, NMH, and St. Paul's) ate dinner together and met for a couple of hours this evening, working our way through an agenda of business items. But the best part of our time together is the informal time in a local tavern after the official meetings have ended. That's when the free-wheeling discussions about what's going on in our schools are most useful. It's also when we cement our relationships so that we can deal with each other on the basis of trust in the course of our regular interactions.
We've just finished our annual ESAC meetings with a luncheon with the Lawrenceville Head Master (two words down here!). Most of our time has been spent in the Lavino Field House, pictured above. Now I am facing three hours on the road in the rain in an attempt to get home before a 4 p.m. practice.
