Saint Patrick's Day Weekend Report
Mar. 19th, 2018 08:46 amDespite being super-tired, things went well. In fact....

Mason's project is advancing to State! Woohooo! Go, Mason. Sorry about the quality of this image. I had to take a screen shot from Washington Technical's FB page. The next step is going to be registering for State, which is going to be held at the University of Minnesota, April 28th. Mason will probably tweak his project a little, but the judges did not have significant critique, which is wonderful. Mason, I think, is ready NOT to look at this for a while, and go back to his robotics team, which he's had to miss while focusing on this.
For myself, I had a Saint Patrick's Day house party at

Sunday, was pretty low-key. Shawn and I had planned to stay in our pajamas all day until Shawn suddenly remembered that we'd agreed to meet an out-of-town work colleague of hers that night at 5:00 for dinner. It was definitely one of those "OMG, I don't wanna!" that turned into a great time once we actually dragged our butts out there. Shawn's colleague is from Washington, DC, and is the event coordinator for NAGARA (The National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators). NAGARA is having their conference in Minneapolis/St. Paul in 2019, so he was scouting locations, venues, etc. He was an interesting guy--has travelled all over the world, grew up as a conservative Mormon until he came out (even worked for Mitt Romney for a while!), and so he had some amazing stories to share. We had a good time hanging out with him.
Probably some other things of note happened, but I've completely forgotten them. How was your weekend?
