A cold front came though last night and blew us right back to winter.. It was nearly 60 degrees when I went to sleep last night.. Somewhere about 2:30 in the morning it dropped about 30 degrees. the wind was howling , the house was shaking and our front door blew wide open. The wind started whipping under the doors to our bedroom and shaking the furniture.. Sometime around 3 I went down the front staircase (stark naked I guess) and walked out on the front steps of our house to feel the wind… I pulled the doors shut and bolted them and crawled back upstairs to go to sleep. The funny thing is, I didn’t remember doing any of this until about 8PM tonight…

That was in in keeping with the rest of my day.. I felt like did it sleepwalking.. somehow I just couldn’t wake up at work. I was in calls and face to face meetings today.. but my mind was hazy as it was outdoors yesterday.

I took advantage of the natural anesthesia I was feeling to finish cleaning out my office while I was on several conference calls.. I went through every book. knick-knack and scrap of paper I’ve accumulated in 27 years of work and through a ton of it out. the I packed it all up in boxes and moved it down to my storage room . It’s funny that the sum of your career worth of contributions can fit on one wobbly cart..

Yikes, it’s late.. I better finish up here. One more thing. I got Max’s permission to share the following with you.. I give you Max’s Birthday Present to Diane.

Is that a cute kid or what ? OK All for now..
I love you all.. Love you too, Sam
