Great day in Pittsburgh yesterday. I was here for the first meeting at CMUECE advisory Council. Was a great group of folks… Many of them were old friends. We spent the day listening to the strategic plans and needs of the department. Most of us had graduated from there so it was a pleasure to give back. My friend larry did a fantastic job of Organizing the meeting… He’s been the department chair since March and is already made some really great changes.. One of my favorite parts of the days we got to tour through the building and see some of the new labs including a giant new maker space
After the meeting we all went to the Oaklander Hotel for drinks my advisor and good friend Rob showed up which was a treat
It was really great catching up with Larry and Leah. Leahs a writer and I got to hear about three books she hasn’t works. Each one takes about three years to write. That’s dedication!
Once everyone left I called my friend Mike Mike and his wife Laura are good friends of ours back 80s. Makes an art professor and pick… He came over for a drink and we caught up. We may actually be working on a new collaboration… Stay tuned
One other bonus is that This weekend was homecoming. I had an amazing fireworks in LaserShip right next to the hotel. It was unbelievable !
Ok.. Got to get on a plane to go home… More later today
Nite all, nite sam
