I have family in Conway, MA, and of course I love the Berkshires and Stockbridge- I remember seeing the Rockwell Museum like it was yesterday and not 40 years ago

The literal calm before the storm. Opelika AL. Rain tomorrow. And wind. And the locust trees with their weak limbs heavy with seed in the backyard. But for now...

My mother turned me into a feminist with her example. The piles of Ms. magazines around our 70s living room didn't hurt. I remember the first mail to her that came with "Ms." instead of "Mrs." in the address and how excited she was. My whole life has been guided and made better by strong women.

She didn't work corrections- she was a nurse at St. Jerome's hospital in Batavia, New York, the nearest trauma center to Attica- she work 3 24 hour shifts in a row. There were refrigerated morgue trailers set up in the parking lot. It was a very very dark time.

I just lost my 88 year old mother last week. She was still living by herself- got her RN at 16, her BSN at 47, and her MSN at 63.

What book would you give to a senior graduating from college?

GrampaDanPhD @grampadanphd.bsky.social · 29/03/2025
Absolutely- I learn so much every time- not a musician, but as a teacher it's fascinating. Also the "inside baseball" way he has of talking at a very high level with his guest but out of enthusiasm.

I am about to be 65- probably won't do PT- all in 9 weeks either splint, cast, or walking boot.

Made the promise when the achilles was reattached on January 20th that the first day I was cleared by the doctor to get rid of the walking boot I would. Well friends, that day is today.
