Well...the news is not getting any better as Hurricane Irene approaches the New York and New Jersey coastlines. Over the past two days the WPFG Organizing Committee has been forced to suspend, and or cancel, a number of sporting events...or is it all events? Hmmm....
That is the problem...everything that comes out is just a little more vague than the information that was released previously. This morning they even stated that events on Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th have been cancelled. What? Is that different than the previous announcement that was made, stating that events occurring on Saturday and Sunday were cancelled? Or the other one that stated that ALL events had been suspended? And what does ALL really mean anyway? Are we talking ALL as in a complete cancellation of the Games? Or are we just talking about ALL events occurring on Saturday and Sunday...which by the way are the 27th and 28th...respectively.
As you can see, things are really somewhat chaotic...and I can understand (to some degree) why there is so much confusion on the WPFG's part. However, this is an event for people who, like me, are in professions that require us to perform at our very best during times of utter chaos...so you can see why I am a little frustrated with the lack of this organization's ability to adapt and overcome in the face of adversity and chaos...better known as Irene.
I'll keep you all posted as learn more throughout the day. Keep smiling...I am!
ahhh, 27th, 28th, 29th, they are just dates, no one really looks at a calendar anymore, do they?
