Interesting day. I woke up thinking about work for the first time that I can remember in more than a year.  It was a strange feeling.  I generally wake up thinking about Sam every morning. It wasn’t that I wasn’t thinking about Sam..   It was just that I wasn’t only thinking about him.. I wasn’t sure how to feel. I’ve learned not to think to much about how I’m supposed to feel when something like that happens. It doesn’t help

For some reason I was able to concentrate today better than most. I got on the phone at 8AM and and really didn’t look up until just before 2. I got a ton of stuff done . I had a meeting at work at 2.. then worked until about 6:30 there.. From there I hurried over to the Inn at Essex for a board meeting of VoMIT (Vermont’s Own M. I. T. club.)  I love that acronym and I love these meetings. They are always gloriously wide ranging and disorganized, but somehow we manage to attend to all business I love the people I know from MIT. they’re all so quirky and funny.
Here is the VoMIT board: Jim. Laura, Jeff and Michelle.

We had a great meeting.. We were trying to figure out something fun and meaningful for our alumni club to do. One idea was to hold a ‘hack fest’. MIT is known for harmless high-tech pranks. Our idea is to create some sort of big high-tech prank  that somehow raises money for a Vermont charity. I know it sounds like a weird idea.. but I’m sure we can come up with something. Any ideas/.suggestions welcome.. you don’t even have to be from MIT to play.

The board meeting was over at 8.. Diane was up at the mountain teaching Yoga and Gabe was boarding (I think).. so I decided to stop and see Hannah and Daves’ new baby, Senyah, on the way home. I called Hannah and found out that she was at her folks house in Williston. I did a quick visit there to see … and hold.. new baby Senyah.. She’s so beutiful

As is her big sister Adah

I got home to find out that everyone was home.. and watchign a scary moview (Alien III) in Sam’s room . I just can’t watch anythign scarier than Bambi.. so I came in here and started blogging..

No sooner had I sat down than our good freind Claire showed up !. We hadn’t seen her in months .. It was great catching up.. We’ve known Claire from the day after she was born.. In fact, she was born so quicky that she entered the world on the floor of her parents bathroom. She’s just back from Barbados with her family. She’s a freshan now at UVM and loves it.

OK.. All for now.. gotta get some sleep.   GNite to you all. gnite Sam..
