It was a little bit like riding a bike, this Council business. Dale had spent a whole term off the Council, but coming back to a meeting again felt as natural as if he'd never left. With a coffee in one hand and a pencil in the other, Dale said down at the table eager to begin once again.
"Am I the last to arrive?" he said, counting the other eager (and in some cases not-so-eager) faces at the table. But a fresh cup of coffee had been a necessary stop, and Dale didn't for a moment regret it. "Well, then. Shall we begin?"
