TOday is Rosh Hashanah, the begingin of the Jewish new year. I used to spend the day in Shul.. but that doesnt call to me anymore. Instead Diane a. our friend Mel and I climbed Camels hump (again) in the early morning to greet the day
On the way to work this am.. I saw this. Wiggly armed Kamala Harris ins oemone s yard.. Gave me hop (rememebr I’m writing this in November.. so I knwo the outcome.. but it doesnt keep me from remembering the joy of being hopeful)
Late tonight I went outside to see if I could find any northern lights.. there’s high activity now.. No luck
Still hopeful….No light in the sky tonight. As we all ned to be the light
THis morning I had the pleasure of giving a talk on AI to the PMICV.. an orginization that pbrings project managers together from all over the state. IT was a fun event I’ve spoken at before. I enjoy meeting these folks.. because their brains are wired so differently than my own. I began my talk as I have before by tellign them that anythign i’ve ever gotten done of any size has started with me pairing up with a good , smart project manager. Diane is my favorite. smart organized persone Our Daughter in law Becky is another. DIane says I only consider her organized in comparison to myself 🙂
Anyway.. it was a great meeting.. and enjooyed gettign to see so many wel organized freinds in one place
After work today, diane and I took advantage of the beautiful weather to hike Bolton.. You can definitely see fall colors up tehre !
we got home and broke out the apples and honey. TOnight is Erev Rosh Hashonah. THe beginning of the Jewish new year
THe star of the year always gets me to think about the last year and the next year at the same time.. it’s been a turbulent year.. and next year will no doubt be as well. THe only thing we can do is to be kind, hopeful and work for the things we can make better.
Yesterday and today are the annual meeting of the National Academy of Engineering. I love meeting people at these meetings. I also like the conversations on stage. This morning there was a very good panel on reimagining global supply chains. My friend Dario was on the panel.. It was a very interesting panel.. on a topic many of know about.. I was particularly interested on the conversations around semiconductor supply chains.
This afternoon we had our sections meetings. I’m in Section 7, the electronics/circuits/semiconductor group. I really enjoy workign with the others in our group. One sobering thing we always start our meetign swith is a review of members who have died over the last year.. you wouldn’t think that would take so long.. but since we are members for life.. there are always some freinds who have passed over the year. May of these folsk are heros of mine. Bob Brodersob, Bob Dennard, Sion Sze. All people who helpd shawe our industry.. and my caree
I’m excited about where our section is going. .We have new energized leadership, and one of our own, Prfo Tsu-Jai King will becaome president of the NAE next year. One key focus is to improve the diversity of our section.. I’m passionate about helping that.
After the meeting, I met Diane over at Matthew and Carolines. We had a great take out dinner and got to paly with Anna, James.. and Kate !
