Friday night – snow

Nice day…. Started late last night. I picked max up at the airport about 1:30 this morning. It was SO very good seeing him. It was good having us all under one roof again. We hung out for awhile talking.. then I drifted off to bed… another 2:30 AM night.. yawn…

I woke late this mornign to find the ground covered with snow. It was really beutiful.. I must have slept well because I felt really peaceful. I worked the morning at home. I’m trying to get my head around what I need to do for this new assignment. It’s really fun thinking about all that I have to do… I think it’s going to be fun and challenging.
While I was on a call, a delievry guy knocked on the back door. He was a courrier from DHL shipping. he was holding a box and makign a really wierd face. He haded it to me and told me he was glad that it was out of his truck.. Take a look at these labels.. I’m sure I’m on some sort of list now… actually.. I’m sure I was already on it


This is the one I love….

These are 4 large rocket motors for a big rocket I plan to launch next week in Sam’s honor. This is one like the kind I lunched at his birthday.. the kind you have to call the FAA about… they’re fun and very, very impressive

I quit working about 1 and headed to Montpelier . I’d been invited to be a ‘technology futurist’ (whatever that is) on a panel for the Council on the Future of Vermont. The CVF is a goverment mandated non profit that is considering what life in Vermont will be like in the next 20 years or so. I was on the panel with a guy from Senator Lehey’s office and an evironmentalist. It was a real Hoot. I’ll be interested to see what they do with the info we gave them..

Walking out of the meeting I saw the Music shop here in Montpellior. I used to get guitar stuff here for the boys… The name really grabbed me…

Outside the snow had really started to come down again. it was beautiful..

Since I was already in Montpellier, I took the short drive to East Montpellier to Northstar Fireworks to stock up on supplies for the toast to Sam next week. they were having a buy 1 get 2 free sale.. so I seriously overbaught.. Let’s just say that I did not park anywhere near my house when I got them home… Getting home was quite a chore I89 was covered in black ice in some spots. It was slow going and trecherous

Soon after I got home it was time to go to CHMS to catch Gabe’ s Circus. It’s a tradition that all three boys love. The kids were really great.. Here’s Syndney singing a girlie song.. Se’s got a great voice and great presense

The crowd was mesmerized !

Gabeand freinds where the ‘Coneheads’… cute !


Gabe as also in the 2nd to last act.. ‘the flippers’…they’re flippin sweet ! We ended up borrowign a springboard from our frinds om and Eriksa and Hruskas since the one that the shcool ordered had not yet come in. The guys were really good on the spring board.. Lots of flips and corks.

The kids all took a bow.

One of the acts used the Red Hot Chili Peppers song ‘Snow’… So it was still on my mind we went out to the car.. there was still snow on the ground and on the cars. That song always makes me think of Sam.. we went and saw the Chili’s in Quebec city just a few weeks before he died. I always choke up when I hear it.
The words are perfect

Red Hot Chili Peppers Snow (Hye Oh) .

Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe it, we rely on
When I lay it on come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Refrain:
Hey oh, listen what I say, oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say, oh

When will I know that I really can’t go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it’s killing me, when will I really see
All that I need to look inside

Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it’s killing me, what do I really need
All that I need to look inside

Refrain:
Hey oh, listen what I say, oh
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say, oh

Stick:
The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it’s so white as snow
Running through a field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there’s nowhere to go

When to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up, I’m gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out

Step from the road to the sea to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Refrain:
Hey oh, listen what I say, oh
I got your hey oh, listen what I say, oh

Stick:
The more I see, the less I know
The more I like to let it go
Hey oh, whoa

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go

In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there’s nowhere to go

I said hey, hey yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Hey, hey yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow

Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow

Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there’s nowhere to go
I said hey, oh yeah, oh yeah, tell my love now
Hey, hey yeah, oh yeah

OK.. all for now.. . Love you all.. love you Sam..
