I just returned from a family trip to the ocean. We took a chance with hurricane Irma moving North, but we were fortunate and only experienced rain and wind for a couple of days. While we were glued to the TV watching Irma advance, I was constantly checking in with family and friends in Florida to make sure they were alright. Our hearts go out to all who are affected by Harvey and Irma. It’s great to see people jumping in to help, from the $10 donations to millions raised and contributed by celebrities, local heroes, and anonymous donors. It will take years for houses to be rebuilt and to bring people’s lives back to normal.
We recently completed our 11th season of summer swim team. The final one for Devin as a swimmer, and his first year as a coach.As a family, we have always enjoyed swim team. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan of thousand-degree nights, where the adults are sweating while the kids are swimming, or 5-hour meets that stop and go with thunder delays, but overall, swim team has always been a good experience for us.
Modern politics do not appeal to me. I try to stay abreast of current issues. I vote. I care about the future of our country, but I don’t spend a lot of time following American politics. Over the past week, politics have been front and center in our collective dialogue as the Senate Health Care Bill was released and now stands for a vote. I have read articles, listened to stories on NPR, and seen a barrage of tweets on both sides of this equation.
Last week I had the opportunity to retrace my old footsteps both figuratively and literally. I was asked to serve as the “real life example” for a Fund Development class in the MPA Program at NC State University. Go Wolfpack!
