MACKENZIE'S BLOG

Being a summer intern working in the D.C. area of one of the country's more interesting institutions...the National Institute of Science and Technology....commonly referred to as "NIST" ... has to be an exciting adventure for a young woman from Kansas. NIST is where all the standards for the U.S. are established. All the research and technology standards for industry are formulated here. It's the old Bureau of Standards that has expanded its scope and direction.

Anyway, she is having some interesting experiences at work and during her free time. Sunday evening she met for the first time my namesake, Peggy, and her husband, Bill, who showed her the heart of D.C. It's an interesting story and if you care to read it, along with her other blogs, you can find it at MACKENZIE. She's really taking advantage of the time she is there and having a good time in the process.

Her blogs are pretty brief compared to mine and she doesn't have much time to write.

She is also finding a different church to attend each Sunday and hopes to attend as many as possible while she is there. She has a little cult following of friends here who anxiously await to see which church she selects the following week. She has the one picked out for next Sunday but isnt telling us which it is. I'm guessing it is the National Cathedral, but we shall see.
