Hmmmm… not much to report on today… I had a reasonably productive day working at home. Chai and I managed to get out for a brisk snowshoe at 4 degrees below.. It’s now 10 degrees below zero . heading to fifteen below tonight. I actually love this weather.
The rest of the day was productive.. but pretty uninteresting. For some reason, everything I touched seemed to mess up… my lap top charger, my cell phone, the car (again) . Towards the afternoon even my software started to go crazy… This evening a friend called from a small town in northern NY .. and all the power on his street went out. I decided to call it a day… Diane was up at Bolton teaching yoga.. so I took Gabe. Max, Mason and Emma to Bridge Street for dinner..
When we got home, we started to un-decorate the tree.
I’m going to miss it’s goofy stare I felt like ‘Dave’ in 2001 taking apart that tree… I felt like I was taking apart a friend. (‘I’m frightened, Dave’)
As Diane worked on the tree, I did a little cleaning in the old lab… It’s a room that I used to use as a workroom. One of the reasons we built the barn was to get the dangerous chemicals I used to keep in that room out of the house. As I moved stuff I kept coming across things of Sam’s.. Here’s soem of his guitar music in one of his guitar cases..
Here’s a ‘sword’ that he and I made many years ago.. he was always making swords.
And here’s a knife set he got when he and Max took a cooking summer camp many years back.. (‘remember this and don’t forget, never trust a skinny chef’)
He’s still everywhere, that boy…
OK.. time for bed.. gnite all , gnite sam.. I like finding your stuff.
