On my way home from ca happily dodging a red eye.. After a really amazing and inspiring work meeting, i Managed to squeek on to an earlier plane..
Its funny how fast i get homesick.. Signs like this only make it stronger !
One cool thing that did happen to me abotu 30 minutes ago.. (And this is not a paid commercial).. I was on the plane fishing for a credit card to buy a beer.. I found the credit card.. But couldn't find my wallet… I checked my tile app ( https://www.thetileapp.com) which said my wallet was nearby.. My wallet has a little bluetooth device in it that lets my phone find it… When the flight was over i got off the plane.. But had that quesy feeling that i hadnt seen it
T ever seen my wallet. I checked my phone and learned that id been near it 4 minutes ago.. But had walked away from it… Hmmmmm… That means…….
I ran back to. The plane and breathlessly explainied the situaltionstaring at the 802.14.4 transport layer.. And had almost worked up the entire bluetooth stack before a kind airline person told me to jsut go check on the plane. I reboarderd the plane and checked my seat.. Not dice.. I told the flight attendent.. She started looking and found my wallet underneath the seat behind…
There you have it.. The internet of things saved my bacon.. And this is the third time… (Last time at 3 am in kazakstan !) i love my tiles !
Got home in time for Gabe’s birthday. Our baby is 20 years old today !.. can’t believe it.He’s smart, funny, hardworking and always up for adventure. .. I’m so proud to be his dad !
We all went to ‘Our House’ .. a restaurant that serves twisted comfort food… i didn’t know what that meant until diane ordered macaronni and cheese with peanut butter and jelly (which was really good !)
or gabes crab mac and cheese
the place was pretty cool.. decorated with old 60s and 70s memorabilia like lunch boxes
like this one from Get Smart (My dad used to work for Don Adams.. he used to call our house !)
after dinner we went home through flooded streets for a little birthday party.. Gabel got a cool hammock !
Sitting in the airport bar in BTV>. Gabe dropped me off about 40 min ago.. tomorrow he turns 20.. which is hard to believe.. and I’ll be back in time to celebrate with him. He’s an amazing guy.. After tomorrow we will have cleared our teen years. .. i guess thats a milestone of sorts.
As I was checking in I realized I couldn’t find my drivers license. I emptied my wallet, dug around my pockets, emptied my backpack .. but no dice.. Where was it. called diane and she started looking around.. wouldnt’t you know.. it was in the shirt pocket of a shirt waiting to get cleaned after I dumped fruit smoothy on it.. Dang.. She jumped in the car and got it to me in time for me to sit here at the gate blogging .. What a woman..
