Day 5 - 81 -- Evening Celebration

The nor'easter today brought snow pellets, snow, ice pellets and rain and then snow again. Sidewalks were covered with wet slushy stuff. The depth was not as bad as expected, but it was definitely wet and compacted. The work day kept me active until the very end, when I headed out into the slush.  A small group of female faculty gathered tonight for supper at a local eatery. This was to celebrate the 4 women promoted to full professor this year. It is still a small group, but one that is growing. I enjoyed the conversations at our table of four -- each of us from different departments and all spoke of our academic and research interests. Such a nice evening out - something I think I was in need of with the pressures of term end fully in my face. <smile>

I thought of a few songs that might fit the celebration this evening and settled on one. The lyrics deal with empowerment in a song that comes from a Disney film. Enjoy!

Just like Fire -- Pink (from Alice Through the Looking Glass)
