"Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything." 
- John Kenneth Galbraith


The Annual General Meeting - a legal requirement of condominium law in Turkey - of owners at my summer home in BL, (Akbuk) that started at 10am and stretched out relentlessly to fill more than five hours before finally it gave way to a beer on Dave's balcony, that led to a late afternoon swim in the pool on a day that drew to a close with six of us going to Didim marina for dinner and to chew the cud over the meeting's discussions and decisions.
