Yesterday Diane and i were on top of libby's lookout resting our eyes on the glory of Vermont in the fall. The leaves were changing, the sky was blue. He air was cool.. And i was with my love a (and my doggy loves) .. I turned to her and said i have always wanted to be here now. We both laughed as we tried to parse that sentence.. (What is that anyway.. The imperfect subjunctive ?!)
Did i mean that i was always waiting for this moment to arrive ? Was it a lapse of mindfulness ? Was i the anti-Ram Das, the guy who always told us to be here now ? Sort of both and neither. I was trying to say 'how much i liked moments like this when they arrive .. And enjoy them so much when they arrive'…
Understand what i mean ? If not… You should read my book onNevermindfullness 🙂

Fascinating mix of a day.. it began with an early morning trip to shelboune farm for the 2nd annual Champlain Maikerfaire.. It was a gorgeous day and the coach barn was full of cool people and their cool stuff. It was a wonderful array of makers and their wares.. . i could only stay for a few hours today as I'm stressing out on a talk I am giving on play next week.. How ironic is that ?
first guy I ran into was my friend Jeff from Sparkfun.. he's driven out here from Colorado to be with us. He and his team crisscross the country doing random acts of electronic outreach.they are just SO awesome .
team essex was there with their robots
We had spooky robot face lady
tons of things that drove . flew and swam
plenty of robots and their masters.
skinned critters
psuedo jellyfish..
and we were there with the Gnerator makerspace announce. There's the wonderful jacobs ladder that Colin and his dad built for us
electrified playdoh
compressed air engines..
electric bikes
3d printers
homemde tools
my freind john was there with code I'd written..
radio guys
Very cool guys from logic supply with an interactive art piece and a minutre 40m ham radio transmitter.
some great steampunk stuff
cool geodesics

a steam shooting dragon stove .
then it was time to go.. Hope the rest of today and tomorrow go well. Please drop by tomorrow to see the show. You wont be dissapointed…
I got home around 12:30 and got to wrok on my talk.. we took a break mid afternoon to go watch a little homecoming soccer.. grab a sandwich for gabe
then Diane and I took the dogs for a betiful fall hike up libbys look out on the preston pond trail
the final chapter of the evening was very amazing. When our freind Dylan died more than 2 years ago, his heart was transplanted into a year old women in Connecticut. Shortly after that, the recipient wos name is Roxanne reached out to me. SHe'd found my blog via facebook and figured out that her new heart had been dylans…
from there she reached out to Dylan's family .. and they became friends. Tonight Roxane, her husband mike and their son cameron drove up from Connecticut to have dinner with Dylan's folks Jim and Sue..
Rocanne and family were really great. .they were fun and friendly..
it was amazing to meet roxanne face to face and realize dylans heart is beatign in her chest.. what a miracle !
OK.. I really need to get to sleep.. more tomorrow

Very cool eveong. Gabe got Chris to build a wooden Cougar for MMU’s homecoming bonfire tonight. Chris did an amazingjob as usual !. this thing looked so life like !
Gabe and chris loaded it on Chris’s dad’s truck with a forklift and took it to the school . Then they mounted it to the chaky platform that was waiting for..
A bit later we all came back and I helped them load it with fireworks..
It wasnt anywhere near dark when the burn started.. some kids came up with flaming torches and touched it to the fuse in the beasts front left paw.
After a while the flame finally reached the body.. 
Pretty soon it was burning well 
it was such a beautiful day for pyromania !
chris , kim and gabe sat quietly while thecreation did its job
eventually the head dipped..
soon it was just a pile of flame.. so beautiful
diane and I stayed for a bt.. then we stopped by Chris and kims for a beer and a little fire spinning.. I managed to take all the hair of my right hand and wrist by walking forward at the as I flashed the sword. you live and learn 🙂 
OK.. gotta sleep now.. More tomorrow !
