Ooh, a dress my D designed for singer Megan Moroney landed on Fallon last night. She wasn’t even sure what the dress was for.

Son, doing specialty veterinary internship/residency in his first of 4 years, was formally offered a tenure track job by his university for when he is board certified. They will hold the position for the next two years when he will need to make his decision. If he decides to take it they will double his salery for his final year of residency. He is considering it and is very flattered. He is only the second person they have done this for!

I am on a layover right now, on my way to Botswana - solo! Not a group trip. Yay for me! I am a world traveler but usually with others. My husband can not tolerate all of the flying to get there anymore ( 4 flights plus a helicopter, to start). Friends can not afford it or they are just those I do not want to travel remotely with for 2 weeks. Ready to feel empowered and take care of me again. “This girl is on fire!”

For anyone following along with son’s racing, they canceled the 2 races that were supposed to happen this last weekend. He was kind of bummed

My daughter won a company-wide award - The President’s Award for Collaboration & Partnership. She works very hard and this is lovely recognition. They will have a formal award ceremony. (And she found out today on her birthday!)

Yesterday, I, a person in their 60s, and a young vet, a woman who was smaller than me, got a 1,100 pound horse rolled over and up all by ourselves*.
Members of the Fire Dept were standing by, but we didn’t need them.

I get to brag on my son again. Another bike race - 3rd place. Seems like he’s doing pretty well given this is his first racing season. And more importantly, he’s having a great time. It does cost a fair amount, especially when they go to out of town events.

For the overall event, son came in 2nd. After Saturday it looked like he might win, but “stuff happens.”

First time son taught a law school class as an adjunct law professor. Was observed and rated in 20 separate categories by dept. chair and received the top score in all 20 categories. Then received an offer to write a chapter in the observer’s upcoming law textbook/casebook.

D23 got the news yesterday that she is receiving the department-head named award for her upcoming senior year at UPenn, for her academic excellence, research, and impact. It is not only a huge honor but also carries a departmental stipend. The award will be presented next spring prior to graduation but is awarded now due to the stipend to use during senior year. So proud! Being a top student there is an incredible feat.
