The weekly budget meeting at Leading Edge Productions is routine: same day, time, place, and participants. Charlie Burrows makes it a habit to arrive at every meeting ten minutes late. On Friday, as Charlie walked in, Hannah Robertson stopped presenting and sneered momentarily before turning back to the board and continuing with her presentation. Charlie ignored Hannah’s nonverbal communication signals and went to his place at the meeting table and took a seat. A few moments later, Charlie started checking e-mails on his cell phone. - What message is Charlie sending by arriving late to the meeting and not paying attention?

the writer needs to avoid using abbreviations and check spelling before sharing.

he describes the bird as "stately."

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
