Hi, and thanks for taking a look at this very short post, but with a 15 minute link.  Over the last 5 days, I attended the annual American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans.  The sessions that I attended included Implicit Bias We Hide, Abide, and Push Aside, The Power of One Caring Adult, A Conversation with Sonia Sotomayor (SCOTUS!!), A Burning House: Children's Health in the Warming World, among others.  Overall much more revolutionary than one would likely expect from doctors.  Nice leads for me to follow in several directions.  More to report, but for now I would recommend checking this out .  It's a TED talk from Nadya Okamoto, a member of Generation Z. 

Allman Betts Band performing in Lafayette Square, New Orleans, October 19 2019 Here in New Orleans there’s a festival every few days in honor or tribute to anything you could imagine.   Last weekend it was the Blues and Barbecue Festival.   My wife Carol and I are back here in NOLA after several months of travel, and decided to meet some friends at Lafayette Square for some music and barbecue while festivalizing.   We focused on food and socializing initially, and heard a bit of good music from Erica   Falls .   The party broke up, but I hopped back on the bike and headed back to catch the Allman Betts Band who closed out the program on Saturday.   The band leaders are Duane Betts and Devon Allman (sons of original Allman Brothers Band members Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman).   Nice show, with some trappings of the olden days including a “psychedelic light show” during the songs, projected onto the backstop of the stage.   This tour is said to honor the 50 th anniversary of
