friends..
    It’s really late and I need to get some sleep before my talk tomorrow… so I’m going to be ultra brief… I’m in Seattle to give a talk at the ISCAS conference.. My talk is going to be on the importance of education outreach.. I hope that I know what I’m going to say.. I’m so passionate about this stuff… if I can tap into that.. it will be fine… I’ll let you all know..
    The trip out here was peaceful.. I ended up getting here in time to get some good day job work down.. then .. believe it or not, I met up with Homer, Mary Raye and their friend Andreas.. Homer and Mary are out here visiting Raye.. Raye currently lives on a boat in Seattle harbor.. It was so cool seeing all of them out here..   Even though it wasn’t an accidental meeting.. it tells me again just how small the world is.
   OK.. I need to get some sleep.. I’ve got plenty of pictures from today.. I’ll post them in the morning after my talk…
    As I’m sitting here nervous about getting up in front of all those folks.. My mind just starts racing when that happens. I bent over to pick something up. My Sam button slipped out.. Sam’s smiling face brought me right back into my body.
   Thanks for that my son.. wish me luck tommorow.. Gnite all.. Gnite Sam !
