Every Thursday there's a meatloaf sandwich special at the diner, except for last Thursday, what with the chair disaster. This Thursday we were going to talk about sustainability, but Kassie the waitress, who is in the market for better chairs, said she'd rather talk about seating. Among Dwell's products of the day, I found some seating. We skipped the meatloaf, considering the steamy atmosphere outside, and cracked open cans of iced tea. Father and son builders Hal and Sal decided to try the chicken salad. Kassie is on a strict iced tea diet.

Herewith, the minutes.

But first a little background on the committee members:

Hal: Head builder. Most of his work is on second homes for people from the city. He's now learning more about sustainable design because that's what people want. In his most recent job he was supposed to install a windmill but the buildings department couldn't figure out the permits. The clients want him to install it anyway. This is an ongoing situation, says Hal, shaking his head.

Sal: Works for his dad. Sal has an engineering degree. He tried to point out that windmills cost way more than they'll produce for a weekend house. The clients scoffed and called him insensitive to the Earth. Sal has decided to take the Zen approach and never speak to them again.

Kassie: The waitress. She lives with a teacup chihuahua and her husband, a stonemason, who's the size of a house, who tried and failed to fix the chairs a customer broke last week.

Thanks for sitting down with me. So I'm going to show you these three products, and all I want is for you to tell me what you think.
