Ginko I took a three-day business trip with another person from work. This Ginko is from everyone I was involved with in the trip. It starts with my wife and I the night before I left preparing for the trip. After I left home I picked up my traveling companion and we drove 500 miles to Avon, MN. I explained what the homework assignment was and how a haiku is born. During our trip we continued with the haiku my wife and I started the night before. We arrived at our destination and my companion explained to the company we were visiting my homework assignment and asked if everyone would join, they all agreed. After the business meeting we sat in the conference room and talked about haiku and read from some of the books. After this learning time we went for a shop tour. The tour lasted about two hours and over the lunch period we did Ginko, or at least our version of Ginko. Here are some of the haiku from this experience. quiet evening our hands together         DB small talk parting is hard         GB business trip folded shirts in a black bag         DB toothbrush holder sad eyes lonely bed         GB one unused pillow hotel numbers         DB cell phone chargers last minute details long kisses GB goodbye arrangements are set papers packed         DB away I go finding cup holders         DB rental car coat on a        RM his bag on the floor         DB waiting 500 miles haiku homework         DB time spitting snow         DB in the bright sunshine car shaking in the head wind         JS poor gas mileage going north In December         JS goofy twists and turns of the backroads         DB shortcut cornfield, beanfield beanfield, cornfield         JS Illinois pillow clouds         DB keeping up with traffic quad cities John Deere town         JS CAT reps’ coming through greasy hamburger in Grandma resturant         DB blue old waitress with new voice         JS flirting brown tree brown grass         DB one bird Holiday Inn home stand and talk         JS sore butt lonely night call         DB home business suits teamwork         JS global haiku old voices new faces         DB positive year end strong partners         AM strong friends quality iron in station         FM on time busy workers loud machines         BM shiny steel smiling faces         AM secure strong voice to the new face         CZ always remembered warm goodbyes strong handshakes         DB flying south fuzz buster         DB going home veins of America ribbons of white         JS McDonalds everywhere hammer lane slow trucks         DB road rage stiff joints         JS small car rest stop instant relief         DB traveling Dave Barr & friends
