Sacramento Training...

Hey all! Well most of you know I am in Sacramento this week doing training for work that is going great! I am super passionate about this new program and bringing it to the staff of the VA. It is called Mental Health First Aid and I have proposed to my superiors to bring it to the VA and teach it. They have given me the funding and support to initiate this program, and so I am STOKED!

On a separate and more extraterrestrial note ;) I got out of class today early to practice for my presentation on Friday and I chose to utilize my time wisely... by going to the California Aerospace Museum - obviously a mental health worthy use of my time.
Starship hallway to connect exhibits and bridge and telepad...

They currently are hosting a Star Trek Exhibition and to Hank's dismay I spent the afternoon on the Enterprise Bridge and transporter pad! It was AWESOME!!! A couple of pics for you guys to enjoy ( even though I'm sure none of you are nearly as impressed as I was -- well maybe Hank ).

The Bridge

Space the Final Frontier... These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before... Live Long and Prosper! First Officer Spock's station

I even got to sit in Captain Kirk's chair (like the best thing EVER! Anyway, it was a neat and exciting experience and I loved it. Captain Kayla!!!

It is amazing how much of today's technology came from the ingenuity and random ideas of this small little show from the 60's. Some day we will explore 'outer-space' and "Go where no man has gone before". AWESOME!!!The Telepad -- Beam me up Scotty!
