2019 - Day 336/29 - Monday...Fiduciary...

Not a bad day for a Monday; I spent the day presenting a class to a bunch of colleagues at the mother ship, all day class. First of four classes for the same group between now and the next two weeks. It is the first time we have tried this kind of a schedule, and we will see how that works out for everyone. I just need to make sure they remember the course materials over a three week period. It turned off chilly again overnight, really started yesterday afternoon, but the low temperatures are now in the 40s, with highs in the 60s, moving up to the 70s later in the week. Luckily, no threats of freezing temperatures in the near term, extended forecasts call for warmer than normal temperatures (that is the new normal), and higher rainfall than normal. That is exciting! This is all leading to the fact that Barney has been more visible lately...he does not typically run off when he sees us anymore. Last night, I was out by the chicken coop and he was out there being nosey about what I was doing. Patiently waiting for me to go back to where I was supposed to be, so he could be where he was supposed to be. Is it just me, or does he have a 'leave me alone' look on his face?

Fiduciary -- Adjective. 1. involving a confidence or trust. 2. held or holding in trust for another. "While bank trust departments have a fiduciary duty to file claims on behalf of their clients, many are overworked and understaffed." Business Wire, September 17, 2010

Did You Know? Fiduciary relationships often concern money, but the word fiduciary does not, in and of itself, suggest financial matters. Rather, fiduciary applies to any situation in which one person or group justifiably places confidence and trust in another and seeks the other's help or advice in some matter. A board of directors, for example, will typically have a fiduciary relationship with its organization's members, because the members trust the board to act in the best interest of their organization at all times. Fiduciary can also be used as a noun for the person who acts in a fiduciary capacity, and fiduciarily or fiducially can be called upon if you are in need of an adverb. The words are all faithful to their origin: The Latin fidere, which means "to trust." I say this word A LOT!
