WUaS began applicationprocess@msche.org for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School

8:50 pm ET 



Dear Larry, Kim, Ma, John, Ed, 


As some of you saw, I began the WUaS Middle Stares' Commission on Higher Education Application Process by sending the following document at 8:50 pm ET ... 


"
Dear Heather Perfetti, Melissa Hardin, Terence Peavy, and Middle States' Commission on Higher Education, 

Greetings. I'm writing regarding the MSCHE accreditation process for World University and School, and both the upcoming MSCHE annual meeting, and its Pre-Application deadline of either December 1, 2022, or April 1, 2023. Thank you for the MSCHE webinar "Navigating Follow-Up Reports and Follow-Up Visits" on September 12, 2022, Drs. Hardin and Peavy. 

CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School doesn't have the resources to start at the moment and attend the Dec 7-9 annual conference in Philadelphia.

We hope to have enough cash on hand to begin the accreditation process on April 1, per - https://www.msche.org/accreditation/application-and-candidacy.

World University and School's office in Pennsylvania is 1401 North Negley Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206 (the Viehland's home address). 

Thank you.

Sincerely, 
Scott

some details about candidates on the ballot, plus the ballot initiative 


Polls will be open from 7am to 8pm.   
 
Your ballot will be short and sweet, 2022 being an off-year election (mid-term between presidential elections).  As Pennsylvania voters you’ll be voting for one of our two senators, the governor and lieutenant governor, and your representative in the federal House of Representatives.   In addition, for Allegheny County residents, some PA state senators and members of the General Assembly will be up for election, and County voters will also have a ballot question to vote on.  No judges and no other statewide or municipal offices are on the ballot.  But as you all surely know by the national media coverage, and the mail, emails, and radio and TV ads with which you’ve been inundated, the Senate, House, and gubernatorial races are considered among the most crucial in the country. 
 
For those races, the contrast between the candidates – Republican vs. Democrat – has almost never been more stark.  The choices are not that difficult:  the Dems running in these races generally support so-called liberal causes, like prohibiting climate-threatening activity, advocating for gun control, supporting Roe-type abortion, funding for public education, increasing minimum wages, and ensuring voting rights for more people – and for senatorial candidates – supporting nominees to federal judicial office who support an expansive interpretation of U.S. laws, including federal regulations and Constitutional provisions that enhance individual civil rights and freedom.  The Repub candidates generally support more conservative positions, objecting to climate over-regulation where it impedes industrial development, supporting broad entitlement to gun ownership, increasingly strict anti-abortion laws, and – for federal judicial candidates – those who are more likely to rule in favor of those positions.  
 
The US Senate
For the U.S. Senate, John Fetterman’s candidacy against Mehmet Oz is one of the only races where an open seat formerly held by a Republican (Pat Toomey) could put the Democrats ahead in the 50-50 Senate split.  Fetterman’s chances for success, where he was ahead by as much as six points, have been negatively impacted by the reaction to his debate with Oz, where a number of viewers felt that Fetterman displayed speech and cognitive impairment from a stroke in May that disqualified him for office.  Fetterman at first refused to provide a medical report on his condition, but did release a letter from his doctor saying that if he takes his mediation and follows medical advice, “he should make a full recovery, and should be able to campaign and serve in the U.S. Senate without a problem.”   Fetterman, 53, has said his stroke was due to a blood clot caused by atrial fibrillation in his heart.  He said he suffered no cognitive damage but acknowledged that the stroke impaired his auditory processing and speech, from which he is gradually recovering.  Since the debate, on October 19th his UPMC primary care physician released a detailed medical report to The Philadelphia Inquirer from an examination he performed on October 14.  He reported that, after a complete examination, Fetterman “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.”  He reported that Fetterman’s physical exam was normal, with normal readings for blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen level.  “His lung exam was clear, heart rate was regular and his strength was normal in all four extremities without any strength or coordination deficits.”  He also “spoke intelligently with no cognitive deficits,” and while he continues to exhibit symptoms of auditory processing disorder, “his communication is significantly improved compared to his first [post-stroke] visit, assisted by speech therapy.”
United States Senators Ben Ray Lujan (N.M.) and Chris Van Hollen (Md.) have both had strokes this year, but both returned to work and have been doing their jobs.  “We’re walking around, we’re having conversations, we’re talking to people, we’re engaged,” said Lujan.  “Cognitive ability is strong, and so I’m confident of the work that John Fetterman will do when he’s elected U.S. senator”  Lujan, 49, was treated for a stroke in his crebellum in February and retuned to work a month after surgery.  Van Hollen, 63, was hospitalized briefly in May after suffering a stroke caused by a venous tear at the back of his head.  Fetterman may not be able to deliver stirring speeches from the Senate floor for a while, but he will vote to support Democratic programs and policies. 
Of paramount importance to me is that Oz has stated unequivocally that he supports the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision eliminating a Constitutional right to abortion.   While he started his career as an accomplished heart surgeon, Oz is best known for his long career as the host of The Dr. Oz Show, where he has been criticized through the years for promoting pseudoscientific treatments, like taking hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, and promoting and actively selling diet pills having no scientific evidence to support their efficacy.  As to fracking, he was highly critical of Fetterman’s changing his support for fracking, but as a Senate candidate, Oz has supported fracking, even though as a celebrity doctor, he raised significant concerns about its health consequences.  He has received major endorsements from Donald Trump, U.S. Rep Guy Reschenthaler, and Fox News host Sean Hannity.  If elected, he will enthusiastically support Mitch McConnell’s Republican agenda.
 
PA Governor
Dem Josh Shapira is running for Governor against Repub Doug Mastriano to fill the seat to be vacated by Tom Wolf, who is term-limited from running again.  This race pits moderate Dem Shapiro’s low-key campaign style against Mastriano’s Trump-endorsed efforts to make headlines, as when he calls for murder charges against those who have or perform abortions, or his ties to social media site Gab, which advocates antisemitic screeds, or his vocal support of efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, or his staunch opposition to LGBT rights.  While Shapira has been consistently ahead in the polls, Mastriano has a passionate base that has been underestimated in the past. 
 
Note:   Three other political parties, the Libertarian, Green, and Keystone parties, have sponsored candidates for Senator, and their names appear on the ballot, but only the Dem, Fetterman, and the Repub., Oz, are viable candidates.  Similarly, there are 5 names from these political parties on the ballot for Governor, but only Shapiro and Mastriano are contenders. 
 
Lieutenant Governor
The historically low-profile lieutenant governor’s office has grown in prominence in recent years and now the Lt, Gov. not only presides over the state Senate, with its continued fallout from the chaotic 2020 election and redistricting, but also heads the Board of Pardons and the Pa Emergency Management Agency.
 
The Repub candidate is Carrie Lewis DelRosso, a 46-year-old Scranton native, who defeated longtime popular House Minority Leader Frank Dermody in 2020 to serve in the state House, ran her own public-relations firm, has served on Oakmont Borough Council, and raised an impressive $1.7 million in defeating 8 other candidates for Lt. Gov. in the Repub. Primary in May.  She is endorsed by the NRA.
 
Dem Austin Davis was endorsed by Josh Shapiro in the primary as the candidate he wanted to run with in the fall.  Davis, 32, a resident of McKeesport, raised substantially more money than any of the Dems or Repubs running for this office.  He was the first Black state representative elected from his hometown of McKeesport in 2018 and , if elected, would be the first Black Lt. Gov. in Pa.  He supports a woman’s right to choose and ensuring that abortion remains accessible to PA women.   He advocates for a living minimum wage of at least $15 per hour and would supports a reduction in PA gas taxes and expansion of the Pa Property Tax and Rent Rebate program.
 
US House of Representatives
Of the U.S. Congressional House of Representatives races which are contested, I’ll mention only two:  the 12th and 17th.  
 
In the 12th Congressional District, long-time Democratic Congressman Mike Doyle is retiring from his heavily Democratic Pittsburgh-area district after 3 decades in office.  The Republicans have found their own  Mike Doyle, a Plum Borough council member to run for the seat, against Dem Summer Lee, a progressive firebrand.  With constant state redistricting by Republican-controlled legislatures in Harrisburg,  the 12th district lines have gradually shifted over the years and now include more conservative portion of Westmoreland County.   Repub Doyle is a serious candidate for the office, notwithstanding the name gimmick, is pro-gun, in favor of shoring up spending on safety in the schools, and has a mixed record on environmental issues.  Lee would be PA’s first black congresswoman, advocates ending mandatory minimum prison sentences, supports expansion of government health insurance, and is pro-abortion.  She aligns herself with the progressive wing of the Democratic party and its left-wing members of Congress.  
Summer Lee was first elected to the Pa State General Assembly in 2018 in an upset victory over longtime incumbent Paul Costa.  She is considered a progressive candidate, an outspoken advocate for environmental and social justice issues, and a strong voice on police accountability. She endorsed Bernie Sander in the Presidential election, and he has appeared in Western Pa to promote her candidacy.  She graduated from Penn State and has a JD from Howard U.  In addition to Sanders’s endorsement, she is also backed by Mayor Ed Gainey, the 14th Ward Dem Club, NARAL, and a number of elected officials.  A national organization funded by AIPAC (the American Israel Political Action Committee) has mounted a vigorous, if not virulent, attack on her, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads and mailings accusing her of not being sufficiently loyal to the Democratic Party or its leaders, and none of her opponents has spoken up in her defense.  
 
 
In the 17th Congressional District, consisting of Pgh’s suburbs in northern Allegheny County and Beaver County, incumbent Conor Lamb sacrificed a re-election bid for a failed Senate run.  Dem Chris Deluzio is running against Repub Jeremy Shaffer to take over Lamb’s seat.  Deluzio is a Dem in the Conor Lamb mold, a veteran with a law degree from Georgetown and strong pro-union convictions.  An Aspinwall resident, he was active in a bid to unionize faculty at Pitt, where he works on cyber-security and election issues.  He pledges to protect Social Security by lifting a cap on tax rates for the elderly and to increase health care access by lowering the age for Medicare eligibility.  Repub Shaffer, a Pine Township resident, is running as a pro-business conservative, supports gun ownership, is pro-life, but is open to a minimum-wage hike and to some infrastructure spending.  He has run a vitriolic campaign against Deluzio.  He’s a graduate of Tulane, with an MBA from Univ. of N. Caroline and a Ph.D from CMU.
 
Allegheny County ballot initiative
Your ballot will include the following question:
 
Shall Article III, Subsection 6(b) of Allegheny County’s Home Rule Charter be repealed in order to allow Members of County Council the same freedom of right to seek other elected office as is accorded to all other independently elected officials in Allegheny County, such that Council Members are permitted to run for nomination or election to elected office other than that of County Council Member without first having to resign from County Council?    Yes or No?
 
On the Vote Yes side is the argument that all other local elected officials (City Council, mayor, all County row officers, even County judges) can run for a different office without first resigning, and, further, that you encourage a pool of experienced officeholders to run for higher office by not forcing them to resign first before seeking higher office.   If they lose the sought-after position, they can retain their current position for the balance of their term.  On the Vote No side is the argument that letting County Council members run while still serving distracts them from carrying out their currently elected duties.  On balance, I’d recommend voting  Yes.  I would point out that County Council office is a part-time job.  They’re paid $11,000 a year, and almost all of them have other jobs or are retirees, so most are already engaged in other pursuits.   There are 15 elected Council members whose duties include approving legislation, adopting a county budget , levying taxes and fees, and confirming appointments to county agencies.

Hi Ma, 

Thank you. In that I'm living in an asylum place, in Pgh, having moved across the country from the SF Bay Area, I take this your email and its time sent as an opportunity and a kind reminder that there is dirtiness and harming in politics ... and regarding the polling place ... and some of the 'actors' mentioned herein too, and even Dad's subdural hematomas, tragically. 

Abolition-ally, love, Scott

Hi Ma, Pennsylvania is a state that could go Democratic or Republican in some analyses ... And this German article puts USA midterms in context https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesellschaft/kommentar-politik-zwischenwahlen-trump-biden-obama-midterms-in-den-usa-kippt-amerika-nach-rechts-li.284486 .... Midterms in the US: Is America tilting to the right?
"Reason and decency" are on the ballot in the midterm elections, Barack Obama says, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is about democracy itself.
By Christian Seidl ... Am curious about the mortality of a stroke in PA ... And its effect on voters ... And this article suggests the Senate is up for grabs https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/07/election-forecast-gop-near-house-majority-00065356 ... But the house is republican ... And 
empathetic Biden is in office for at least 2 more years ... What do you think? 💗Scott 



* 

Hi Scott, the ballot is pretty straightforward.  The only question on the All. County ballot is one to allow people currently in office to be allowed to run for some new office.  I consulted several people about this and voted yes.  I thought the wording was awkward. Good luck.  





* 

Thanks, Ma, I vote for you by the way :) Am seeking to vote fairly early ... Can have an effect as news channels start to report on returns ... Thanks for the information! (California has a zillion ballot measures, a good aspect of CA's democratic process ... But making ballots somewhat complex). Love, Scott 💕





* 

Good morning, Ma, I took a nice walk to Mellon Park yesterday afternoon ... and sat on Dad's bench for a spell (which isn't repaired yet) ... an interesting thinking place perhaps ... Thanks too for the election information here in text and in your email at 11:12 pm ... Am concerned that similar processes occurred with Dad's 2 subdural hematomas, as with the Dem senator candidate ... Appreciating Too that visited by mail and chose not to do a polling station preparation this year. Methinks polling places can be sites of conflict with AI, surveillance and ML ...  So I will seek to vote by mail in the next PA election ... (eg in the spring if one happens)  Greetings from an asylum place, and abolition-ally, Love 💕, Scott

Hi Ma from Hollow Oak Loop on AllTrails




* 

Hi Ma, How is your day and week going? I keep getting a few spam messages about Medicare ... and while I think I have gotten MediCaid for UPMC for You health care coverage (under 65), for free, due to my extraordinarily low income, I am waiting for the 11/15/22 effective date, and while I've gotten paperwork, I still haven't gotten the UPMC for Life card itself ... And it would be great to get MediCare before I"m 65 if this is in the works in the federal government (Pin and HHS?) ... and regarding even aging reversal genetic drug therapies into the centuries ahead 🙂 Love, Scott




* 

found a replacement 'music rest' for my broken Yamaha Piaggero light weight nice keyboard (by calling around on smartphone ... kinda amazing in itself) ... at Pianos N Stuff in Blawnox, not far from you I think ... on order ... Do you know this music store?




*

Ma, it looks like, conceivably and adventurously, I could park over night in the Montour Woods Hollow Oak parking lot (since there are no No Parking signs) ... and even hike in and camp out in a nice little cave I found (even if raining) ... or even camp out in a Toyota ProAce Electric Autonomous Vehicle camping van in the future :) cool ... Soon to play Piobaireachd ... :)



* 

I hear you, Ma, that you're tired! Please get some sleep ... as sleep calls ... the election results can wait until the morning ! 🙂 Love, Scott

Frederic and Stephon,

Lights went out in the kitchen just before I opened the microwave door. It was a cold coffee morning ... and I left soon thereafter.

But in my little abode of a room, some lights were on and others off. Is there an electrical engineer in the woodwork of the house? (Wondered during the day if all the ice cream and freezy thingys had melted, but kitchen lights were on upon return).

And while Ximei has said someone will fix the hot water faucet this week, and it's been broken for possibly 2 long weeks, I think i'm going to try my own sponge, blue bottom (and possibly dish soap too) since I've been sick in little ways recently and in hypothesizing it's because of no easy hot water (where's a realistic virtual Harbin hot springs to soak in when it would be great to do so 

Frederic there are a few companies in the US over 100 years, like IBM but here's a finite wiki list of those over 200

Cheers, abolition-ally, Scott 


PS
Back in Pittsburgh, for possibly only a year, am exploring going to the Carnegie Mellon Pipe Band on Mondays, per Andrew Carlisle's invitation at the Glenfiddich piping championship, beginning at 5am and going to 1pm  and for a number of creative reasons related to the Piping wiki subjects at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - and also regarding the whole CMU music school, and World Univ & Sch's planned online Music Schools for ALL instruments in all 7151 known living languages ever, and extinct languages too, each a wiki subject or school, but also for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric Music Degrees, Bach and PhD, possibly in performance, possibly online in real real time - ... ... (even as a continue to seek a possible life partner to begin a family, possibly a 20 something beautiful with inner radiance MD or similar with whom I connect). That written, I may also seek to explore teaching a "Network Society, Information Technology and the Global University" course at CMU - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - and in conjunction with writing my next book in 2023 on the Information Age and the Global University."

Hello, Scott, Ron Lupish here.
Like you, i had to hang up my GHB


Ronald Lupish

to me
(accidentally hit "send"...l

... Due to nerve damage in my neck, which rendered a number of essential muscles in my left arm very weak or pretty much non-functional.  Bummer, to say the least.  I've been playing my Walsh shuttle pipes (in A) and small pipes (in D), but have really gotten somewhat rusty.

I don't know if we've ever met.  I was P/M of the Macdonald PB for a number of years - got them to a second place finish at the Cambridge (?), Ontario HG, Grade 3.  Raised a few eyebrows up there as i recall, as i recall!

Nice to know you knew Bob Hamilton & Joyce MacFarlane.  I took lessons from Jimmy McIntosh for a number of years.

Are you then back in Pgh now?

Ron

Hi Ron,


Greetings, and thanks for your email. 

Is this you - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-lupish-4540999 - too (n'est-ce pas)?

A little hard to see - but this seems to be on your LinkedIn site - is this trophy above the prize your Pipeband won in Canada? Congratulations. 

Back in Pittsburgh, for possibly only a year, am exploring going to the Carnegie Mellon Pipe Band on Mondays, per Andrew Carlisle's invitation at the Glenfiddich piping championship, and for a number of creative reasons related to the Piping wiki subjects at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - and also regarding the whole CMU music school, and World Univ & Sch's planned on line Music Schools for ALL instruments in all languages ever, each a wiki school, but also for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric Music Degrees, Bach and PhD. possibly in performance, possibly online in real real time - but found Alex (and maybe her twin sister, and their father is a CMU alum like yourself), a bit 'wolfish' somehow even, with, for example, the "Scotty Saturday" T-shirt Alex was wearing, and displaying somewhat prominently at times ... (even as a continue to seek a possible life partner to begin a family, possibly a MD or similar with whom I connect with). That written, I may also seek to explore teaching a "Network Society, Information Technology and the Global University" course at CMU - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - and regarding inconjunction with my next book in 2023 on the INformation Age and the Global University."  

I recorded my first Scottish Small Pipes' album in 2020, "Honey in the Bag"  - http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm - and am working on my second Scottish Small Pipes' album to release this December, "Honey Piobaireachd" ... and may explore for a 3rd Scottish Small Pipes' album riffing with Piobaireachd melodies with the Allman Bros at Cow Palace in SF in '73, if I can move this concert - https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - to a kind of code (Google inspired and coded) and then print to sheet music some key notes for riffing in general on the SSP A 9 note mixolydian chanter ... and then see if I can transform the energy and the music of this concert to be able to riff with Piobaireachd melodies, some notes printed to sheet music. Check out this concert from about 2 hours:30 minutes - 3:20 and beyond  ... and explore riffing or noodling with it as is. 

I stopped playing the GHB about 10 years ago due to what I'm calling 'eustachian tube dysfunction' in my R ear, and appreciating the bellows on the Walsh small pipes ... and also appreciating much the 3 chanters ... and that it's almost a chamber music instrument now playable easily with a variety of other chamber music instruments, and folk instruments too ... :) 

Thanks for your email. Greetings to Andrew, (and I may follow up on some of this with both Andrew, and PM Stuart Liddell, a former teacher of mine ... whom Andrew knows quite well).

Cheers, 
Scott

Hi -

The LinkedIn listing is indeed me - i really don't keep it up, as i'm retired.  However, the trophy is not mine, it is part of a posting from an Indian former colleague of mine.
Any award the band received would be with the band historian.

My smallpipes are both mouth-blown.  I also have a set of Fred Morrison reelpipes, bought them on a whim.  Haven't played with them much, too many other things that need doing!

If you know anyone in the market for a fine set of old S&I Hendersons, let me know.  They need to be played & cherished!

Best,

Ron

Ron, 


thanks again for your email. 

In returning to Pgh around September 1 to live here possibly only for a year, I have recently gotten new health coverage. While I've seen possibly 5 MDs regarding my R ear "ETD" and none have been able to do anything about it, - and it may have its origins from as long ago as a swimming program in the late 1960s, I continue to wonder about new emerging therapies ... thanks to the genetic engineering revolution, rapidly produced vaccines, and even molecular nanobot therapies brainstorming wise. Turns out, my new primary care physician went to UPenn for 3 degrees. And UPenn is where a childhood friend is a Prof MD of Ears Nose &Throat. In the past Erica had written I would just have to live with this ear condition as an annoyance, but in the event that new therapies are coming along, and I can or could get it fixed, - TO PLAY THE GREAT HIGHLAND BAGPIPE again, I could be interested in your Henderson pipes, but please don't hold your breath. 

See you along the Celtic trail or similar ... By the way, there's a contra dance this Saturday from 2-4 if you might be interested (and while I'm not playing with these folks on my Scottish Small Pipes on Saturday, just did last Saturday most enjoyably). It's at the Bulgarian Macedonian National Educational and Cultural Center in West Homestead 

I may explore heading to the CMU pipe band practice on Monday after following up further about some of these emails too. 

Best, 
Scott

TL - 


Hello hello!  So sorry about the change on Sat hiking.  Am eager to get another date on the books.  Should we look at the following weekend or perhaps something early Thanksgiving week like Monday or Tuesday Nov 21-22?  



Scott - 

Ah, So ...would love to see you on Sat. Nov 19, or even possibly, if my financial situation changes, M-Tu, Nov 21-22! More later! Welcome back! (Just got UPMC for Life health coverage card digitally, - soon via paper mail on plastic, I think ... glad to have health coverage in Pennsylvania on this Asylum journey and in calling for abolition). Looking forward to staying in touch about Yemen World Univ & Sch in upcoming weeks! How was the Middle East, and how is peace in Yemen growing ... and how can free to students' MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch degrees on a WUaSGoogleEducation platform help? Fondly, Scott


The 19th is when WUaS Monthly Business Meeting is ... So maybe the M-T? Still getting the 10/15/22 MBM Minutes out ... Could I possibly have seen a relative of the Chinese premier Xi Jinping today near Carnegie Mellon Univ ? Will be glad to have the effective date Tuesday of 11/15/22 for UPMC health coverage and plastic card in hand without any mishaps due to traveling out of state of PA, and I just got today a KP NorCal notice about a vaccine being ready ... So glad I may have a health plan still in CA - possibly due to The Federal government - if I am able to move back into a newly safe Canyon 94516 on 9/1/23 ... Wild times re asylum journey and calling for abolition (I worry a bit about UC Berkeley, the illegal sex industry internationally and their /its latent networks of violence, and the psychiatrically unwell  nelson graburn (did he call for the whacking of my father GKM MD? ME TOO possibly a few times ... More Difficult back east in asylum ) - who could conceivably be in communication with Xi Jinping ? Just thinking and reasoning and piecing together some hypotheses ... as WUaS had begun the accreditation process this week from PA with Middle States Commission on Higher Education with some here at bottom - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/western-brook-pond-fjord-in-gros-morne.html?m=0 - and even with some US state department links to education sites and accreditation related URLs too :)💕Scott


A Friendly Nontheist Quaker leading, even to some degree in getting out the WUaS Minutes, and Agenda & News ... waiting in the Light in one way or another is part of this WUaS creation process ... And the waiting can be kind of Taoist opening too finding the water way 💗 :) 


Appreciating your language, Tm - "to get another date on the books" ... Looking forward to seeing you, maybe over Thanksgiving week ... A day trip is a bit too short perhaps for a visit ... for a DC <> Pgh hike in the middle ... 'another date on the books' here in Pittsburgh, post 'wolfish' experience at the Glenfinnan piping championship, with the "Scotty Saturday" T-shirt displayed by Alexandra (Alex) and her first words when she and her twin sister came to sit behind towards its close of "2 sons" - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/blue-heath.html?m=0 .... with a radiant 20 something yo MD to be, or schoolteacher

 ... could involve going to a 1-3pm contra dance on Saturday here (where the English Country Dance musicians I played with, on my Scottish Small Pipes, most enjoyably last Saturday, will be playing again ... could I meet a new possible 1st date here)? (Or will I be possibly avoiding Alex and Elizabeth if they might be there at the same time, or at the CMU Pipe Band 1st practice for me on Monday evening? ... and going to which could be a way for me into 1) Carnegie Mellon University for WUaS's music school, 2) virtual bagpiping at WUaS with CMU band, and potentially 3) to teach society and information technology course there at CMU beginning in January ... talk with you about some of this maybe Thanksgiving week further, TL ... and good luck regarding your getting another date  (re you /your family possibly) ... on the books ... don't know if I could connect with a date over these books :) ... author's page - http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity  (with daily blog)
