Assist open house

The inversion continues. A very faded sunshine during the day and a thicker and thicker atmosphere made of nothing but pollution very dangerous for protected populations. I don't know if I'm a protected population I guess I could be in regards to being senior as well as probably somewhat Limited lung function but I don't feel too negative if a dog from trying to exist in the atmosphere as it stands now. I think a lot of the folks worry about me, who don't know me. These folks just see me as a person with a disability. With that thought in mind I knew it was going to be a long cold day for me because today was the December open house I.E Christmas function for one of the programs that I serve on there Advisory Board assist ink. I had to go all the way from the apartment complex downtown to Across the library which is quite a trip especially in the cold and damp evening. Fortunately everything functioned does it was supposed to. I spent a good part of the afternoon hunkered next to the heater tanking up the heat for my inbound trip. I found my semi new heavy duty Hood that was just new enough to look like it was something special to wear to an event like I was going to. I had misplaced the postcard that was sent out that had the time the open house is supposed to start and at this point in time it was almost 5:00 so I decided I was going to go regardless. I think I got to the office about 4:45 and the staff was all there if things were laid out and everything look like a party. I was impressed when I got in there that one of the staff was to make a presentation to the group along with a really nice graphic projector that events of the staff in the emergency housing situation could render images of four and after scenarios of projects we worked on during the year. When I got to the office they are actually going through the presentation they had planned to give to the folks who come to the open house. I was mildly impressed. The organization is far different than what it used to be when I first came into this town they actually have three Architects on staff! That was never done in the old days there is one architect and that was an older fellow who was also the director of the organization. The new directors quite Young also a full-fledged architect plus the other two architects.

This year's event was fairly well attended. There were contractors that the organization works with throughout the year as well as many directors and staff folk from other private non-profit agencies that also work in the area of housing and low income service provisions. People coming people go people spend a lot of time schmoozing each other. The event has become quite smaller than it used to be. In the old days the place was packed usually elbow to Elbow and seemed that they went through a lot more booze than what happens today. I got cornered by one of the folks I used to work with in the old days. We had a good discussion but it was time for me to head out since I had to come home on the train. A fog had to send it over the area as I took my leave for the train station. I was cold but I was glad to be done with this particular event. It's fun but it's also kind of harrowing to be part of the old generation that does nothing more than to remember what it was like in the old days …
