Connections and Pathways

There is something, not surreal, but a word like that sitting watching 5 - 9 year olds play T-ball. It is wonderful when the kid hits the ball and then runs after it grabs it, gives it to the other team then heads for the base :-D

Or when a kid in the outfield stands there spinning and spinning and spinning and then falls down dazed.....

Of course there are plenty of moments with 12 kids all running across the field after the ball and such.

After I recover from my T-ball experience I am hoping to catch my favorite cover band tonight and then I have a ticket to see Lez Zepplin (a female Led Zepplin and more cover band) tomorrow.

I made it through the presentation Thursday - whew - it went so-so. Talking about curriculum at 4pm thursday when many are taking Friday off because of the three day weekend is tough - but I made it through.

The person who is the director of the program and I spoke a bit before the meeting and it was interesting listening to him. He teaches lasers and physics at the community college as well as coordinating this high school to college program.

He actually created certain laser techniques that are used by the police/FBI for fingerprinting. He was talking about some of the cases he went on... whew the one he mentioned was like a movie (he was called in at 3am to find a car riddled with dozens of gun shots and went through over a 1000 shell cases to find fingerprints as a mob person was in the back of the bullet ridden car.

But now instead of that he is running this tech prep program - it is interesting teh connections and pathways people walk - that is why I love talking to people and asking questions - to find out these connections and life walks.

Well for now dishes are calling - wow what a fun chore - ah well - music later is always good.
