Wednesday night – home again

Home again after a quick trip down to NY… I didn’t have a download cable last night.. so here are two pictures from yesterday’s amazing head wave .. I just read that it it 63 degrees in Burlington yesterday.. 12 degrees above th previous record for this date !  Not the best snowshoeing weather….

It was so warm… we actually had to open a window

Here’s yesterday’s sunset of Champlain College.

… and here are a few of my friends at Champlain who are helping me with the ‘Good Games’ project… Here’s Ann

.. and Laren, Bryan, Wes and Mike.. aren’t they cute ? They are amazing folks to work with. I’m learning lots from them

Ahh.. here’s Jai, a virtual member of our team..

As I said yesterday.. After I  left Champlain and drove 320 miles down to Armonk listening to NH election returns.. Yet I managed to stay awake. I got to the hotel at 12:30 AM and checked in. I just love this hotel… they have comfy bathrobes for guests…   What more can you ask for ?!

I slept great last night.. woke up early and went for a run.. came back and checked out.. before I did I hid a SamStone in the room.

Here’s a few views of the IBM Learning Center Hotel … I think it feels like a monastery..

OK.. a monastery with ping pong and pool tables.

I took my camera on my run this ironing.. I jogged over to IBM Headquarters and got these pictures in the mist.. I think the place looks like a sci-fi movie set..

I remember Sam getting sick right outside this loading dock as I was preparing to go in to do a science show several years back.

Here’s my office in Armonk.. I’m borrowing it from my friend Grace who’s out on maternity leave.

Here are a few past IBM CEO’s ..

An here’s my good freind Marylou.. She’s my ‘handler’ during my assignment to Headquarters.. She’s great.. as was the sushi at lunch today !

Headquarters is such an interesting and different place.   Even the political views are different !

OK.. that’s all for now.. I’ve driven 600 miles in the last 20 hours and need to sleep. G’nite for now all.. g’nite Sam !

ps… I just found out today that my work colleague Deb is a good friend of my college suite mate Chris.. They both lived in Tucson.. very tiny world !
