Celebratory note 031

Monday I received a letter that my amended return was accepted, and my refund would be deposited in two or three weeks. Well, the refund was deposited yesterday, so I paid off my loans with the Mainstreet Credit Union and Penguin Pawn.

Galileo's Pavilion open house was 12:30 Wednesday

“JCCC will host an open house for Galileo’s Pavilion Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., and you were cordially invited to attend.

Scheduled speakers are Joe Sopcich, JCCC executive vice president, administrative services; Jay Antle, executive director of the JCCC Center for Sustainability; Dan Rockhill, JL Constant Distinguished Professor at KU, and executive director, Studio 804; and John Gaunt, dean, KU School of Architecture, Design and Planning.

JCCC science professors Doug Patterson and Lynne Beatty will capitalize on the open house’s summer solstice theme with planned activities incorporating Galileo’s Garden, the sculpture by Dale Eldred that previously sat on the building’s site and gave the building its name. The sculpture was relocated to the Galileo’s Pavilion courtyard and functions as a solar timepiece.

The building was constructed by students from Studio 804, a design/build program at the University of Kansas School of Architecture, Design and Planning.”

I left my current mix CD in my car, so I have been listening to the radio, especially Alice 102, although I did hear Skid Roadie on 101 the Fox - Kansas City’s Classic Rock Station, and one of their played songs does summarize my present attitude.

Well, I’d better lie low for a while.
