It was one of the ways I kept my sainity while on assignment in Kentucky. On the other hand I tend to be invisible as I am not working in a related feild.
I have been getting back into the BASFA habbit. As I am usually out on Mondays and Wendsdays, it is a strain to eat out on Thursdays as well when I am not working. On the other hand Spending a year in KY working on a player piano with an Ex-NASA female engineer was an experience. Especially for someone who has spent one's life in the Bay area and is old enough to remember the Exploratorium when the old man ran it. At BASFA last night some of this came up as Trey got a new pungun. The first thing he did was attemt to open it. I noticed the same thing with the pianos. The first thing the guy engineers wanted to do was take it apart. Reminded me of a cartoon back in the Carter era. Where Bro Billy had an F16 up on blocks in the backyard. On the other hand I was consicensly educated to play with blocks and other related things, like reading books. I really belived in the promise of Montreal in 1967 of SSTs and that I would be working in outer space or on the moon. -julie _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
