My colleague from Oregon, Ann Rogers is coming to North Carolina to sit in a review of the work I am doing here as a consultant. Lorena, Kelly, Christian, and I were going to pick her up at the airport this evening to take her to a vegetarian Indian food restaurant. We were very excited about it and thought it would be a nice surprise for Ann. It is looking, though, like my boss wants to meet with her to talk about the project when we were going to do that. Asi es la vida. Well, we should get to see her tomorrow for breakfast anyway. It is pretty disappointing. The kids were dying to me Ann’s daughter Siri. I surely hope they can do this again soon.
I do not know if I have commented here about Ann other than just peripherally. She is AMAZINGLY like Jean. They are both vegetarians, graduated from University of Portland one year apart in electrical engineering, are hiker athletes (when they are not chasing their kids), cut their hair the same way, and have many, many other things in common. The amazing thing is that even though they graduated from the same school in the same major that generally has very few women only one year apart, they never met each other. We are going to have to remedy that someday!
