Chico day 2

It's much cooler today in Chico. The seminar is still quite interesting and I am truly enjoying the folks I am meeting here, feeling even more interested in localization.

I visited the little memorial to Oma and took a video (see below.) Sadly, there was some graffiti on it. I think I will email the Burke ladies and see if people want to pitch in, each about $25 or $50, to donate to Chico State and tell them we'd like that gift designated to clean up the memorial. Not only will that achieve the immediate goal of getting it cleaned up, it will also communicate to the university that Oma's family still cares very much and is engaged.



I met a nice lady named Deb, who is just finishing chemo for breast cancer and came all the way out here from Boston. Pretty brave to show up to this thing not knowing anyone here with most of her hair gone wearing a bandana. She was so lovely to chat with. She showed me photos of her dog online and I showed her the paintings on my web site and she definitely is now going to commission me to do a portrait for her. Funny that the first business opportunity from this localization seminar has nothing to do with software at all!
