More than a week has passed since The Cabinet met in our Summer Headquarters on the banks of the Assiniboine River. That is enough time for my memory of the evening to have been burnished to a smooth warm glow. This is a good thing. I recommend having smooth warm glowing memories. However, that burnishing has also rubbed all the details away. Moreover, as the title and the name of the Headquarters imply, it is summer. And summer is the season of laziness. Or at least it should be. So I will be lazy and not attempt to reconstruct those details. I believe I am entitled to this laziness. And I believe you will get as much of a sense of the evening from Ivan and Cory's fine photographs as you could from my words. Mind you, you won't learn anything about how the Highland whiskies tasted, but that is, as the saying goes, "your problem". You'll have to go taste them yourself.
One further note to the title: summer in the Highlands and Manitoba shares one feature. For a clue, take note in the photos of the mesh that surrounds us.
