Before I start on today.. here’s a picture of Gabe last night when he came home from the MMU basketball championship down at UVM (we lost) ..  Gabe like the game. Who knew we could breed such a sports fan ?!

Today started with Diane making very green banana chocolate chip pancakes.. yum !

Then it was nother insanely busy day.. in my office by 8:45 .. out at 6:45 without stepping outside my office once.

I did have a great work session with Max.. he helped me fix some code I was writing.. made me so proud to work with him more about that tomorrow..
 I was excited to finally get to go home as we were having a little St. Patty’s day thing with a few friends..

Another green meal awaited.. including pesto noodles

two green salads

Green olive tapenade

And even fresh baked green sourdough bread !

Then mint chocolate chip ice cream

and freshly made green whipped cream.. yow !

At dinner I looked up and toasted Sam’s picture on the wall…   he was in to this holiday..

I wnet back to my post on this day in 2008 to fund this picture of Sa… He was wearing his Flogging Molly shirt.. .. I htink it’s the last shirt I saw him wearing.. it’s a great Irish Punk/Folk band that he loved.. Here are two pictures that Sam R took one day..

And here’s a cool version that Sam R made of the same photo

If I ever leave this world alive
by Flogging Molly

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll come back down and sit beside your
feet tonight
Wherever I am you’ll always be
More than just a memory
If I ever leave this world alive

If I ever leave this world alive
I’ll take on all the sadness
That I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside
So in a word don’t shed a tear
I’ll be here when it all gets weird
If I ever leave this world alive

So when in doubt just call my name
Just before you go insane
If I ever leave this world
Hey I may never leave this world
But if I ever leave this world alive

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right

She says I’m okay; I’m alright,
Though you have gone from my life
You said that it would,
Now everything should be all right
Yeah should be alright

Here’s a recording of it I found on youtube

Happy st patty’s folks..

nite all, nite sam.. missing you
