First day of vacation.. but i really didn’t take it off fully . I was doing some filming with the IEEE about their DIY Project contest, (https://transmitter.ieee.org/diy/) which I’m helping promote . It was fun working with the team from Finn Partners.. Liz, Callahan and Tom have been u where before. We filmed, reviewed submissions to the DIY contest and did some experiments inspired by the submissions.

Gabe’s an officer in the UVM Ski and Snowboard club. They decided to have their annual dinner her at the house tonight. It was so fun !> Diane made a full thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.. It was great meeting the other officers.. They had a really great meal.. and a great time

pottasium permganate and glyerine spontaneously computed to which lit a fuse
that lit a pile of ammonium dichromate which made a volcanno which lit a fuse
that lit a pile of Zinc and suffer to make a huge green flash that lit a fuse that
lit a bunch of pyrodex in a can under a big pile of creamer coffecleaner with titanium and iron dust in it..
Wonderfully sleepy day as I ease into vacation. I actually took 4 spirit naps today.. only one of them on purpose. First I laid down on the floor to scratch one of the dogs.. next thing I know I was waking up.. I decided not to get up immediately.. and fell asleep again on the floor.. this time for several hours.. I woke up again and managed to crawl to the couch.. and fell asleep again.
Diane and I then spent a few hours cleaning the garage…. which was actually fun.. I decided after that to sit down and read my book (Purity – Jonathan Fanzon.. Like it !) .. and found myself waking up 2.5 hours later at 5:30…
I’d blame it on jet lag.. but I think it’s life lag.. I’m feeling a bit more caught up !
Friday night… Winding down. About to start two weeks of vacation… Maybe I should call it a retreat. I've been running pretty hard these last couple of months and I need some down time to think. This coming week is a tough one for us. Next Friday we will mark the ninth anniversary of Sam's passing. This time year always weighs heavy on my heart. I countdown the days remembering things leading up to that day.
It's one of those things that is hard to approach but we always get through. This year I'm feeling pretty solid.i'm putting myself on “gentle cycle” for a bit in the intent to keep it that way.
I had a really pleasant day and evening… But my heart is heavy hearing the news tonight from Paris.
