Local ITEA chapter did well by me

Went to my first professional luncheon today since uncovering my dairy allergy.  I registered late and faced the prospect with some trepidation.  My local ITEA chapter did well by me though, even so.  The local president spoke to the kitchen staff on my behalf, and they grilled me some chicken; and there was plenty of salad.  I got my fill, without too much difficulty, and I didn't get sick.  Even better, I was able to get out into the community again and see some folks that I hadn't spoken to in a while.  Karen Jackson was the speaker.  It is always good to hear what is happening in the commonwealth, and it was good to briefly chat with her again. All in all, a good day.
