Sněži! It is snowing today! A good day to stay home and try to get caught up. Despite my efforts at bearing down on research, I agreed to meet Veena and her friend Kate for lunch downtown. Veena and Kate are both from Cincinnati, and both have recently graduated from college, Veena from Brown and Kate from Wooster Polytecnic Institute in Boston. Veena is here on a Fulbright scholarship and Kate is on vacation from her engineering job with Johnson & Johnson in Cincinnati. Both women are actively engaged in women’s issues and are at the stage of their lives where they are exploring career options, so the conversation took interesting turns.
Rick and I had a quiet dinner at home, knowing that Matt planned to call around 9 p.m. It was wonderful to chat with him. He’s planning on going to Boston for Thanksgiving with some of his high school chums at other east-coast schools in the area. It will be strange for all of us to spend Thanksgiving away from our family in Denver.
