Dinner with 12 Dragons
October 10th, 2009
We had a dinner last night for Drexel alumni and students. It went very well. I didn’t realize that so many of my “green” friends went to Drexel. Since the topic of the dinner was sustainability, all the alumni and students were chosen since they had an interest in this subject. The alumni were friends from some of the local green, sustainable groups I belong to. The students were mostly from the A&E program at Drexel and had some involvement with the Drexel Smart House.
We had a lot of interesting conversations on sustainability and what each one of us was doing. I met some new alumni I didn’t know before and hope to keep in touch with the entire group, including the students. They primarily will be the leaders and take us forward on our road to being sustainable.
Where does the time go?
October 3rd, 2009
Days and weeks go by and I don’t seem to be able to get the important things done. Why? Because they are out of my control. It makes me angry and upset that I can’t get the Special Needs Trust for my daughter moving. It is holding up us applying for SSI and applying for the MR waiver funding as well as the autism waiver. And it will make us expend our money (which I happily do) to pay for services that our daughter needs.
For those of you out there with disabled children, please keep up with what needs to be done and do them on time. It will save you a lot of grief and stress.
Our “dinner with 12 dragons” is coming up this coming Friday. It will be nice to have some Drexel alumni and staff and students at our house. The topic for the evening will be sustainability.
My legs are still bothering me but I am trying to ignore the discomfort. I was going to try an acupuncturist but just don’t feel like it. I’ll wait for my neurologist appointment in a couple of weeks.
I found out yesterday that I am permanently transferred to the department I was temporarily on line to. That’s great for me. As long as I can feel productive and help out and be appreciated is all that matters.
Drexel bar-b-que reunion

We had a little reunion yesterday at our house for my fellow students who worked with Dr. List many years ago (30 plus years).
If you want to see the individual pictures, please visit my album. We had a great time reminiscing about our college days and beyond (days between then and now). It was amazing how we could remember things that had seemed to have escaped our memory. One thing triggered another and we were off traveling through time.
Here are some additional pictures my friend Phil took. Check out the Dr. List Lab Reunion link.
