Today my freind Ned came to visit Beta. He’d never been here. Ned’s a is oen of the most active people I know.. and he’s also quadraplegic. Neds a psychotherapist who has a great office overlooking the lake. Hea. always has an attendant with him .. and thats sometimes thats been a friend of ours.. including Haydn, Jack and Alie .. Total coincidence because Ned and I met over a techcnial project. Ned has been workign for many years to design a standing wheelchair that is designed for quadraplegics.. One aspect of that is a char that allows its center of gravity to shift. I havent been to hwelpful other than introducing him to people I know.
Anyway,. today was a quick tour of Beta with his aid Mallroy . NED loves techncology.. so it was fun to show him around !
Had lucnh today with our good friend Rebar. Really great catching up with him.. ALso .. looks like we’ll be workign together on another project.. thats greta news because we loved workign with him on Fluffy. Rebar is workign with friend Ben on a super interesting .. and maybe kinda secret art peice with social commentary.. I’ll be helping itht he electronics and software whcih is may happy place.
Today was a big day.. I had to forgo morning coffee because today was my latest cardio workup. I do this every 5 years due to soem shakey family history. I had an Echocariagram and a cardiac PET scan .. both came out excellent which is just what I want to hear. I am thinking that soem of the credit here goes to Diane for maintianing us so well. Lots of exercise, great food and a wonderful supportive relationship 🙂
One hte way out of the cardio lab, I took soem time to look at the organ donor memorial..
always thinking of Sam
later after work I had a great meetign with a group of UVM STEM abassadors.. We gave them a tour.. and then heard about their STEM teaching senester projects. Many of them around syuistainability.. btu soem about aviation.. even one about cryptography .
