Sunday afternoon – lazy day

I 8 wonderful hours of sleep last night. I managed to sleep through 2 alarms, the dogs, the wind blowing doors.. but what finally woke me was a strange thumpa-thumpa-thump coming from the dryer.. After I’d gone down and had my tea, I investigated the root of that sound and found a very clean and dry SamStone underneath the pile of freshly laundered clothees in the drer. This confirms that SamStoens are indede washable.. so. if yours is dirty….

Diane and I went for a nice run up honey hollow with the dogs this mornign. It was amazingly wet and swampy out there.. it felt more like belize or costa ria than vermont. The highpoint of the trip was when Satori managed to wade across one of the small streams without being carried.. I could tell she was proud of herself !

I got home, cleaned up and headed down to Champlain to watch the ending presentations from the Governors Institute for IT..

It was great.. I did a show for the kids last Monday .. it was great seeing what they did with the time since. There were lots of thanking of people includig the faulty and staff.. who are mostly friends of mine . They nearly outnumbered the kids in the program

There were about 200 folks in the auditirium.. many of them parents of campers..

Each team of kids presented the games, websites, and podcasts they did during the week

While the RA’s sat in teh back and playedgames.. which is working for them, I guess..

After the program, Ann was taking all the staff for lunch.. She invited me which was awflully nice !.. As we were waiting, I called Max.. he’s just SOCAPA. Max will be living on campus for 2 weeks teaching high school kids how to make and edit Videos.. It sounds like it’s goign to be awesome..

Max was guiding traffic just a buldign away, so he took a break to come up and meet my friends. They promised to let him into the gaming lab at night.. I think he’ll lik that..

I drove downtown to go to the lunch. n the way, i ran into John K and Burk wearing a Sam shirt !

LLunch was great.. it was in the back patio at Halversons.. We sent the time reading the student Evalsform GIV.. .

Ann had presants for each of us.. We got alien fingerpuppets… That’s more than I usually get for doing a show !

While there, I met newborn baby Rosa and her folks Geeda and Ken

Here’s Ann holding rose

I got home to find Gabe in friends tramping with the sprinkler on.. Looked like a ton of fun.. It was hot… !!

Now I’m taking those guys to the Hulk.. So I gotta stop here.. We’ll be late for the movie if I don;t
OK all for now.. note folks. Nite Sam
