I just got back from a short jaunt to the University of Washington in Seattle. Not only is it the school my son Andy attends (beam, beam), but it is also a hotbed of activity around advancing people with disabilities. My long-time friend Professor Mari Ostendorf (who was a grad student with me at Stanford) was running a summer research program for engineering students with disabilities.

The second challenge we encountered took place in Washington D.C. Usually when I'm in Washington, I get to work with people who share an interest in making the world better, no matter where they work or for whom. But, occasionally I'm reminded that the other Washington exists. I'm not an expert in the tactics employed by that other Washington (and hope I never become one!),

And much more… Washington, D.C. Even in the tough fiscal environment in Washington, we get good hearings from both Republicans and Democrats. Like many other leaders of nonprofit organizations, I travel an unreasonable fraction of the time. I recently hit three million lifetime miles on American Airlines. Not sure whether to celebrate or mourn this milestone. Why do I do it? Why do my peers do it?

As part of the large national award we received from the Department of Education, we are spending a lot more time in Washington. I talk to lots of folks: congressional staff, members of Congress, folks at the Department of Education, the publishers, disability activists and so on. I hope to provide a little flavor of what this is like, since as an engineer and not-very-political-guy, this is new to me.

The Washington Post covered the MAH's transformation as part of an article about museums engaging new audiences. This weekend was thrilling for me. The whole second half of the article was dedicated to our work: Smaller museums can be especially scrappy in finding ways to connect with the community. One that has found remarkable success is California’s Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.

Sarah Nason, one of the original volunteers who helped get The Washington Bus started, is moving on. Later, as part of the group of people working to launch the Washington Bus, I realized that Sarah Nason was a missing ingredient for getting the Bus moving and helped recruit her. I think of this as one of my main contributions to the Washington Bus, and am so proud of all she has accomplished there.
