TGIF !.. for some reason the week dragged on.. but .. i had my share of fun this week.

As I left this morning for work,  Deb, Diane. and Jen were hard at work on a catering job Deb is doing.. they were still chopping in their little chef’s hats when I got home at 6pm.. lots of yummy food around the house.. the place smells great !

I had a busy day at work..today.. The high point was presenting remotely to about 200 folks in our Hortlandia command center in Brazil. This was about 100km from where I vistied a couple of weeks back. It’ snever as much fun talkign to people remotely as it is being there in person.. but we made it work. once again I was blown away with teh warmth and freindliness and overall awesomeness of the brazillian people. The calor humano came all the way through the phoen lines. I even had a camera in the command center I could steer around so I could see the folks there..

I know I talked to long.. but I really loved the questions.. I need to get back down there and visit soon. I love brazil !!!!

 

I got home around 6.. to find the girls still chipping away.. Gabe and Kristin wanted to go to the Art Hop.. so we piled back in the car and drove downtown to soak up some culture !.   The art hop has been going on for years here in the south end of Burlington..It was really great.. I saw a ton of folks I new.. and saw some really great art.. They had music..

and food

SOme of my favorite stuff was in the Soda Plant an art space collective.. really cool stuff.

if you know who this is .. then you have great taste in TV (I love bubbles !)

 

my freind John had two really nice hollograms there

among all the folks I ran into .. Sandy and Michael were the oldest friends I saw.. I’ve known Sandy for more than 40 years.. we grew up together in Houston.. I used to come up to visit her when I was going to school in Boston.. and that’s how I fell in love with Vermont. It was great seeing them !

OK.. i’m getting so sleepy.. and tomorrows an early day.. more then

nite all, nite sam
