Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Karen surveying the landscape and offerings in Dalian, China.
It looks extraordinary!
On Karen’s second day was a full day at the conference PLUS a tour of Dalian and the surrounds! China’s largest stone animals and the largest plaza was part of the tour. A beach frequented by Russian Tourists was a hit as well!
Karen’s third day was all about her invited talk… And as is customary in our family we all say to her in a good natured way, ” What if no body comes ??!”
Knowing Karen it was a hit!
I arrived in Louisville, Kentucky to wish our daughter Karen a happy birthday… And to share a day in her life. Karen is an Assistant Professor in Strategic Communications with many interdisciplinary research lines of interest from Social Media, crisis communication to related fields in Psychology and business.
Today, I sat in on two classes and really enjoyed the multi-media interactive lecture. Although I really found these classes interesting… The problem I see is that they would require me to take extensive notes…. Fun but work. Fortunately for me… I am not in these classes.
My daughter Karen — SC Trojan record holder in the women’s shot put — has taught me a lot about social media. Certainly, we on the second half of the century mark have enjoyed facebook, linked in, twitter… and now PTCH. Pitch gives us a way of telling and posting our story in pictures and to music using nothing more than your iPhone ( smartphone).
I am sure this ap will just keep getting better and better. FIGHT ON!

Karen did a wonderful little video on an old family favorite… Chicken Tetrazinni!
Here’s a link to the recipe and the history of Chicken Tetrazinni… do you know where it got its name?
Karen will be visiting us this Christmas and it will be fun to bake and cook and BBQ… but first I need to lose a little more weight! “Happy Birthday Karen!” — Coach Dad
