Hi there—thanks for writing. I’ve been looking into the scheduling conflict you mentioned, and I think the best route is to push the Tuesday review to the following week. I checked the team calendar, and everyone is available on Thursday the 23rd for a mid-morning call. I’ll send out a calendar invite later today so we can finalize the agenda. Let me know if you’d prefer earlier or later in the day. I know you had some concerns about overlapping with the status update, but I think we can keep that separate. I’ll also prepare a short summary of what we covered last time so we don’t lose any progress. Speak soon.

One more thing: I looked at the notes from the last project meeting, and the design team is ready to present their mockups. We should give them a solid 45 minutes on the agenda. If that works for you, I’ll block it off.

Regarding your question about the weekend hike—yes, I think the Blue Ridge trail loop is the one to do. It’s about six miles round trip with a moderate elevation gain, and the views from the ridge are worth it. I checked the weather forecast and it looks clear, though I’d bring a light jacket anyway. We should start early, around 7:30, to avoid the heavier crowds. I’ll pack snacks and water for everyone. The parking lot at the trailhead usually fills up by 9, so arriving early helps. Also, I confirmed with Jen that she can join us, so we’ll be a group of four. I’ll send the exact coordinates tomorrow morning. Let me know if you need to borrow any gear—I have an extra backpack and poles. I’m looking forward to it. It should be a good day out.
