Fun and productive day… It included a task force meeting at the University of Vermont, a successful dental appointment… And the receipt of a new Van de Graaff generator. Here demonstrated by our housemate Kyle

The last part of the day was the IEEE annual awards dinner. There were almost 60 people there to see our local chapter give out engineer of the year, teacher of the year, student of the year, etc. We had a nice dinner and then I let a panel talking about renewable energy in the state of Vermont. We had five speakers … All of them were very good. We had plenty of active conversation… Which included some laughs and some disagreements… All the elements that make up a good panel. I knew it had gone well when I actually had to shut it down because we ran out of time. That’s what you want and a panel
OK… Time for bed. More tomorrow
Nite all, nite Sam
