Thursday night – gotta sleep

Friends…
    It’s about 11:40 at night and we’re driving away to Boston at 4AM.. so this will be really short.

I woke up feeling miraculosuly whole afeter a night of high fever.. I had a 7AM call with my firends in India.. so I got right in to that.. and completely missed Gabe going to school .     The rest of my morning was spent on the phone.. until I managed to get iin a shower and drive the car to the Toyata service place.. It was one of those beautiful snowy mornings..


I dropped the car off around 11 and workied inthe Toyata places lunge.. it was quieter and better appointed than my office. I liked working there.

The car still wasn’t done at 2 so my firend Ray at Camplain came and picked me up for my meeting at the Emerging Media Center (thanks Ray) . I had a very exciting meeting there with a group of studets who are helping me with a prject on explaining why video gamingin is a great reason to be interested in math, scinece, and technology . I was totally blown away witht he thinking these guys had done on the prblem. They’d wrritten code, flowcharts, etc. I swear these guys are as innovative and effective as any proffessiona; industry team I’ve ever worked with.   I love wroking with them.. We have lots to get done by our deadline in Feb.. but these kids are so sharp.. I know that we’re goign to do something very cool.

After that mmeeitng, one of th students, Iiian  gave me a ride up to teh Rushfords Chirporcti place.. I’m always happy to see that they have a SamStone prminnantly displayed.

From there I caught a cab tback to the toyota place to pick up the car.. only to find that they’d not been able to fix it. It truly is possessed. The battery is constantly draining which requires us to jump the car every time we want to go somewhrer.e It’s goign back in next week for them to try again to find he cause. . Maybe it is my wierd enrgy field that’s screwingit up ?

I finally got home at about 7L15.. I’d bene looking forward to getting home and hanging out some with Gabe.. This week I’ve kept missing him.. and I’m needing to hang out with him so badly.. When I got home, he and his bud’s were out on the sledding hill behind the house.

A couple of his friends were staying for potatoe pancakes. Unfortunatly, I had somewhere else to be. I say unfortunaltly, but I was happy for the invite. My friend Joe, our famly doc, had invite me and his friend Dan to see Paul Geramia at Good Times Cafe in Hinesburgh, I said goodbye to Gbae and his friends and headed to Hinesburgh to meet up with Joe .

and Dan..

Geremia was an excellent musician.. He was playng slide 12 string guitar.. some old delta blues, some originals. it was my knd of music.

This guy Duker and his wife Josephine were sitting next to us.. Duker is an artist and drew this amazing protrait of paul while he sang..  Isn’t that cool ?

Around 10L30 I decided I hat to head home.. we’re leaving at 4.. so I need my beauty rest..   In that interest. I’m going to say gnite right here.. gnite all. gnite Sam

ps. Happy Chanukah folks
