Sometimes a blog with thoughts and opinions by Dan Greene
Added March 13, 2026: The poster session that never happened, about the dissertation that never got off the ground. By that time that conference happened I was back in Knoxville and working at Hodges.
Haven’t posted in a while, been a bit busy.…
Well, if you read my post earlier today, you know that my iMac is dead and that my iPod was having issues. After reinstalling QuickTime and iTunes, I let the iPod charge completely and also plugged in the iPod dock to one of the FireWire ports on the back of the Dell instead of the port on the front.…
From the night of Thursday the 17th until yesterday I was traveling. Seven states in seven days. Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. And of course back to Knoxville. We saw a lot of interesting places and collected quite a few road maps.…
I drove again today. I’m getting a lot better at using the left foot gas pedal. Monday I get to head out on the road, I’ve just been in a really big parking lot up to now. All other drivers and pedestrians consider this fair warning.…
Last week was a roller coaster. Monday and Tuesday were fine. Wednesday, Stephanie needed a day off, so she took it. Thursday, she had a day off and took me to my driving evaluation at Patricia Neal. That went well, looks like I’ll just be using a left foot gas pedal, not hand controls.…
I finally have an on the road driving evaluation scheduled again, for Thursday March 10th at 8:45 a.m. I’m a bit worried about it, I haven’t driven a car since before the wreck. I’ve tried driving around a parking lot but I’ve never done anything more than that.…
Well, what happened this week? Stephanie and I spent Tuesday working on wedding stuff. We got the tuxes taken care of and figured out the wedding rings. Wednesday was fun. I had to teach in my information society class, that was no problem.…
Maybe I’ll get to drive one day. To recap what as happened so far. I had on the road driving training scheduled for February 3rd. But I had to wait to talk to Voc. Rehab, so they would pay for it.…
Well it’s Valentine's Day. I sent Stephanie 18 long stem roses at work. That was to make up a year and a half of not getting her any flowers.
In other news today was my last day of therapy. I’d done about all I could do there.…
Well, I went to a Mardi Gras party at John 23rd Friday night. I walked in, with crutches. I danced with Stephanie too. Quite a change from last year when I arrived in a wheelchair and could barely get out of it to sit in another chair.…
