Wow. I've never had to swear an oath before.
As I mentioned a few weeks ago I am embarking on yet another weird adventure in life, this time as an appointed member of the city of Marquette's Harbor Advisory Committee. I was approved by the City Commission last week, and before the first committee meeting, which happens to be today, I had to go down to city hall and do the whole Oath of Office thing.
So now I'm official!
(And, just as a side note, seeing “James” is just...weird. Really, really weird)
Seeing as how the first meeting is this afternoon, I spent a chunk of last night going through all the paperwork, agendas, and various informational items. It seems like the committee delves into some interesting topics and discussions, all with an eye toward providing the City Commission—the people with the votes on a subject—all the information and recommendations they need when deciding on a project or on a new law.
I think it'll be really interesting. As I mentioned, this is another new weird adventure in a life that's has more than its share of weird new adventures. But unlike some of them, this adventure could, in its recommendations, affect an entire community. As I've said before, the city's lakeshore and harbors are perhaps its most precious asset, and what the committee I'm now on is tasked with is recommending how it's used in the future.
So, you know, no pressure, or anything.

Wish me luck. After all, this is the first project upon which I've embarked that I've ever had to swear an oath. This should be fun!
