Once a month, I write minutes for the meeting of a committee that I'm on. It takes longer than I like to contemplate. And it's that time again.

I have red tea about once a day, though there are times when I drink more or less. I'm finishing a cup now. It makes the prospect of revising minutes no less attractive, but it does taste pretty good.
