I started in developmental disabilities as an undergrad and it was truly formative. Many of the lessons I learned serving people with profound disabilities shaped who I became as a clinician.

Thane and a crew of about 1200 providers are doing beautiful work for this very underserved population.2/2

For the client, who will I, might I, dare I be in this world.

For the therapist, who will I be in the room as the client faces into that task.

The books are fine, but you can't do this sort of thing strictly by the book.

It is the creative aspects of the work that have always interested me, because the problem we face in classrooms and clinics is fundamentally about creative work where the medium is personhood. 2/x

And, sometimes it is just your van and where you camped. Retirement is the best job I ever had and I had a really great job before ;)

Back in my wayward youth, I was 86ed from a few bars. I do not think anyone was calling for the bouncer to assassinate me.

I made that tiny mug. Turned out too small for a coffee cup, but perfect for a lungo or a double espresso!

In fact, at about train 3, Dianna laughed, like belly laughed, out loud at the absurdity of it all.

We gave up drove into a spot near a little town park in Fort Sumner, NM. A little loud, but sleepable. Hanging out this morning, reading, eating, writing while the temps are pleasant. And really, it is all good.

We got pulled in and thought we would wander around in the morning. After we got all settled in: train one--horn blasting for miles, shaking the ground....and within an hour train 2, 3, and 4 rattling our brains and each with the endless loooooooong blast of their horns.

There are still 8 people living in the town in three houses, but the church, post office, a little 2-story hotel, and the rest of the houses are all in various states of tumble down. It sounded cool and interesting.
