The Council meeting was due to start in about a minute and a half and Dale wasn't there yet. In fact, Dale wasn't even close to being there, frantically fanning his trousers in the laundry room when they'd come out of the dryer still damp. He knew that on island time the meeting would start when everyone got there and end when they were done, but Dale still wasn't a man who liked to be late for his obligations.
Finally he just threw the pants on damp, raced up the stairs to the kitchen for coffee (a stop that was not optional), and headed for the Council offices. At which point he stumbled over the threshold, got his shirtsleeve caught on a pictureframe, tripped over the leg of a chair and banged his knee on the edge of the table. All without spilling a single drop of coffee.
"Well," he said, setting his coffee cup firmly down on the table and finally taking his seat. "Are we ready to get started?"
