* Shawn … I hate Skype.  Trying to write some more and trying to do a lot of things and finding it difficult to focus on one thing.  Trying to study for a GRE.  Trying to work on a web app project and work to boot.
* Eric … I am en route to Greycliff and Queen Louis (Eganville) to go for a swim and check on the sailboat the friends used to make sure it’s tied up correctly ... Gotta work on Queen Louis to get it livable … and it’s humid and hot.

== Opening Blessing ==
We come together, two friends seeking to make progress toward our highest aspirations.  We make sacrifices to take the time out to do this.  Let us make the time productive.

== Weekly Events Logistics ==
:Service rotation: Ben, Brandon, Shelley, Eric, Shawn
* July 7th Service: 8:30 AM PST / 11:30 EST … Ben
* July 8th Business Call: 8:30 AM PST / 11:30 EST

== Meeting Time Change ==
Business calls
* After Service (9:30AM PT / 12:30 ET on Saturday) ?
** Shawn - This would work for me just as well
** Eric - This would work well for me because it would mean just one break in my weekend and it keeps it well away from church time.
** Eric: Suspect Brandon would have a problem due to Basketball?
* After Service (10:30AM PT / 13:30 ET on Saturday) ?
** If service was moved to 9:30/1230
** Shawn: This would be fine for me as well
** Eric : The advantage of having just one call per weekend would definitely make this work for me.

Services
* 9:30 AM PT / 12:30 ET on Saturday?
** Brandon could play basketball 7-9 AM
** Brandon suspected Eric would be okay with it
*** Eric could do it but he prefers earlier … lets him leave for other activities (e.g. going to Greycliff) earlier in the afternoon
** Ben would benefit because the Ryan House check-in meetings are currently scheduled for 8-9 AM on Saturdays
** Shawn could do either later or earlier, since he's planning to start getting up earlier anyway
** Would work for Eric, then business call could be 10:30 to 11:30 PT (13:30 to 14:30 ET)

== Year Plan ==
=== August Unconference ===
==== When ====
August 4 to 6
* Eric could make it maybe? (flight 8/3 - 8/7 currently $565USD on Air Canada)
* Shawn doesn’t have a problem with these dates, would work
* Who else can make it?

==== Where ====
* Shawn: Portland would probably be easiest for accomodations
* Eric: Agrees.

== Evaluation ==
Shawn: Feeling good; liking the conversation ; glad if you can join us.
Eric: Really nice to spend on some time with you and get to know you a bit better.  Happy about that

== Closing Blessing ==
It is good when we can come together.  Much can be created from all combinations of those working towards a similar goal.  May our day be productive and week be grand and may everything continue to unfold in the best possible way.
