Condi Rice as Pianist Permanent link to this item in the archive.

You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw the NY Times store (front page of Arts and Entertainment today).

 She's obviously very bright. The stories about her exercise program and now the chamber piano playing make you wonder whey she's putting up with the rest of them.

FEMA Certifications Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Got to go pass the IS100 and IS700 online tests in the next couple of days. This turns the bureaucrats on.

 There's a lot right with the Incident Command System (ICS) and probably with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as well. Double their certifications, 110% of the value. They needed to tweak ICS and get everyone on it ... now there are two.

 Fortunately, they are open book tests. You take them online. I should have taken them by the end of the day or tomorrow at the latest. Then I get certificates that everyone can make copies of.

 There are earthquake preparedness and animals in emergencies certifications as well. I think I'll go collect FEMA certs for a while ... it will impress somebody.

Rowed 10k meters in 48:05.2 <smiles>

 That's a pace of 2:24.3/500m ... nice

Sun-breaks still. They're threatenng rain but it's not so bad right now.

 

Watching Orinda. Watching the world.
