I had an interesting opportunity this week to drive Temple Grandin to Logan, Utah as part of my work at the Disability Law Center. She is an amazing scientist that designed more humane slaughter houses for cattle. She has autism and is a wonderful advocate for being your best self. A movie about her life was made by HBO, starring Claire Daines, it is well worth watching!
It was interesting to have the opportunity to talk to her one on one and I learned she does 100 sit-ups everyday. This is 99 more than I can do! I am grateful for unforgettable experiences.

Wow! I loved that movie, seriously changed the way I thought about my food. And you got to meet the real woman!
How ironic ... I was just this wekend telling my family about Temple and the movie I watched last summer about her.
What an awesome opportunity for you to spend time with such a remarkable woman.
Holy cow! What a cool experience. I watched her movie for the first time last weekend. It made me teary. It made me want to be more understanding and open minded.
