Today was a special day in our Muncih HQ.. but I couldn’t be there this week. There was a party to welcoem the first 100 or so folks workign in the new center I was very sorry to have to miss it. . In honor of that all the execs (which would have included me) wore traditional german costums. lederhosen for men.. and dirndl’s for women. There were soe great pictures that came from there today.
I was so sorry to miss the fun that i dug out my old lederhosen from 1979 .. The nice thing is that they still
1Am and I’m still working.. ugh.. workdays are getting longer..
Took a break today to go see our freind Bess o’briens new movie. Bess does documentary’s on socil issues. Max was in a play and a moview she produced ‘Voices’.. about voices of young Vermonters.
This movie is called ‘All of Me’ and ita abotu easiting disorders. Its a topic I never really thoguth of.. the movie is powerful and thought proviking. it told the story of a dozen or so vermonters who have struggled with bulemia or anerexia or had a child that has.. After the moview, several of the people featured in the moview participated in a panel.. it was really very moving hearign them all tell their stories..
bess and the cast will be touring Vermont over the next couple of months. I encourage you to go see the moview.. They are also looking for help funding the tour. You can find info about the tour and how to donate here
