(Friday's blog was written on Friday - but alas, a widespread outage of Internet service meant it could not be posted. Nor could I watch a move or listen to music or anything else electronic. So instead, I went to bed early. Lovely!)
Today was a lovely day. I had an early teleconference with Michael from Kenya who is planning to come to Panama next month for a vacay. I'm hoping he can help my students with data analysis and with creating paper prototypes after the visits we'll be doing to improve the UTP website. Then, I headed into work. I had to be back home for a fabulous session in a virtual conference, "You in UX" put on by two of my favorite folks - Tracey Lovejoy and Gayna Williams. The other sessions have been great too but this one, done by Donna Flynn, who I first worked with when she was at Microsoft and who is now at Steelcase. It was inspirational. She talked about being very intentional about her work and family life and had found ways to weave things together with her current post. Donna is a great person, and it was wonderful to hear her so happy.
In between, I had a visit from Lydia. She brought me the lovely hair ornament I've posted above. It's a Tembleque, a head dress worn by women wearing the Pollera - the national dress of Panama for women on the Azuero Peninsula. If only I had a bit more hair! But I love it and am so touched by Lydia's generosity.
