NOV-A-SERIES
BEGINS IN SAN
ANTONIO TEXAS AND
CONTINUES THROUGH ANOTHER MARATHON AND
EVENTS IN MARYLAND
Index to
Nov-A-series.
November 1
Events begin with the “Wurst Five Mile Run” in New Brunsfel Texas at
the outset of the Wurst Festival, and proceeds to the Texas Air Show
at Randolph
Air Force Base before a quiet time in playing with two little men named
Geelhoed.
Devin and Jordan take their parents and Grandpa through
the San Antonio Zoo—even to learn a few new animals in the process!
I visit with the twins and play their games as I depart
from San Antonio and make my way back to Maryland.
My
reference letter for Amy Hayes, one of my medical mission protégés,
and the response from application programs.
The photo collage from the Lingshed Trek
from Ajay, one of my student trekkers interested in the Faces of Zanskar.
If not
a call to arms, at least a call to feet!
Kevin Bergman’s response to his letter
of reference for residency application.
The
Marathon-in-the-Parks-IV run in the cool chill of Derwood
dawn following the omen of a total lunar eclipse.
The recent problems in Nepal reflected
in MMI cancellation and a NY Times story.
Remarkable coincidence that may make
possible my return to Mindanao and extensions to Leyte and to Palowan,
through a generous invitation to
lecture in Nanhua University, Taiwan.
The windy weekend of November 14--16,
2003, as things are jumping in Derwood and details
are falling into place—even including the year-end letter 2003—as I go
off to another ELDP full day
seminar.
Several meetings of consequence: my Derwood visit with
Dale Kramer to add some change orders in the rapid
pace of construction all the way to
landscaping; the public hearing on the ICC—which
two proposals might make my near neighbor!—and the Robert F. Kennedy
Human Rights Award
ceremony
in the Russell US Senate Office Building;
all before takeoff to the one way air travel
to Iowa with the return by Audi.
VERY EVENTFUL AND WONDERFUL WEEKEND WITH THE FLIGHT TO IOWA, AND LONG DRIVE BACK TO DERWOOD, WHERE INTERIOR DESIGNS WERE NEARING COMPLETION IN PLANNING AND A VERY HAPPY MEETING WAS INITIATED AND FURTHER PLANS WERE ENGAGED.
