Diane and I woke up before 4AM today to get to the airport for our trip to Minneapolis. We were heading there to see my mom and sister’s family on our way to DC..
My sister Mary met us at the airport with her old friend Cal who was also visiting. We headed back to Mary’s and met up with my Mom. We all headed out for a walk in the great fall weather.. Mary showed us this cool Pencil a friend had made out of a dead tree in their front yard.
After the walk.. we headed back to my moms where I ended up sleeping for 2 hours.. then back to Marys for great take out sushi..
Not much happened today.. the most memorable was a zoom new member orientation to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) .. A group i’ve just joined. Our annual meeting is next weekend and the leaders were welcoming us to the group and letting us know how to find our way around the organization. I think I’m really going to like being part of this group. there are folks from all sorts of engineering disciplines in the NAE.. and on this call. We heard about he mission of the NAE and how it is organized, and the work projects they take on.. all very interesting. When it came time for questions.. I had to ask if we really needed to where a tie tot eh event next week..
