Updates from the 'forgot to blog' files:
Webb made Continental's in-flight magazine. It was an article about
tuition-free schools so to have been left out would have been a ULCC-sized
snub.
Three congratulatory events have gone unmentioned from work. First was a
farewell gathering/roast in my honor with PD. Last week was the final
recognition dinner for the TPM team I was part of in Sourcing last year.
Thursday was a Generation dinner with both PD folks and people I'd met on
my December trip. Pretty neat.
It's also football season and that's flown under the radar for the most
part. I've watched every M game so far (hooray BTN + DVR) and felt pretty
good unless it is third down and we have the ball. A game in Ann Arbor
looks unlikely but there's always next year. That's the thing about
college sports: hope springs eternal.
Our time with Carina, our German exchange (the MBA in residence so wants to
type 'forex') teacher, has been hyper busy. Three days this week I saw her
for five minutes or less, though Jenelle has been much more involved. As
expected it has been interesting to hear about our country through fresh
eyes..."The students took many pictures at the all-you-can-eat buffet and
laughed very hard on the bus."
I didn't really forget, but I played offense again at Tuesday hoops and
remembered how fun that can be. Next year: practice. In LOL niche sports
news, Jenelle has discovered an in-line speed skating group/thing that I'm
keen to try. I've been skating pseudo-frequently at Rodale this fall and
will be curious to try flat, twig-free strides in a pace line.
