Mark’s Leaving Tomorrow

Another tour with developmentally disabled adults this morning.  A more interactive group this time though that might be because I had a better plan.

We focused on questions like:  Old or young?  What do you see that makes you say that?  Man or woman?  What do you see…?  How do you imagine Bartholomew feels?

Got good responses and attentiveness throughout our session.  It was a good feeling all round.

Today is Mark’s last day here.  He takes off tomorrow for Lansing, Michigan where our cousin Kristen lives.  Greyhound will carry him from here to there.  He plans to go to Detroit after that and visit our cousin Leisa who is in a nursing home after a stroke.  The rest of his visit, undecided.

His school year in Riyadh starts sometime after September 1st.  He has to be there between August 25th and then.  He hasn’t got his ticket yet because he has to get his visa redone, then send them on to the school’s folks here and they’ll book his ticket.
