Saturday night – not in Cairo

You know.. moist of the time.. I dare say all of the time.. I’m not in Cairo.. but I’ve never been more not in Cairo than today.. I was to have spoken (remotely via Skype) at a Makerfaire event there today

It turns out that there was an accident in which the driver was hurt.. I really hope  he’s ok.. . My thoughts go out to him

that completely changed the schedule and i didn’t get a chance to speak. I did get to see some cool pics on Facebook and twitter. It looked like a really great event.

 

I spent the rest of the day putting in the lab.. and went off a fast snow hike up libbys lookout with the dogs.. Had to do a snow angel up there.. because it was just so beautiful

 

OK.. time for bed..

 

(OK relaly.. time for tv with diane.. we’re binge watching a new show !. Heres !_

Friday night – trick of time

Rare treat this afternoon. My friend and colleague mike trick celebrated his 25 th year at ibm today.. And about 100 prople turnedout to congratula te him. I went to grad school with mike.. And his wife xia-wei. It seems like yesterday I simply cant beleive hes been here that long. Funny thing is that both he and xia-wei look and act. Just Like they did at cmu all those years ago . It was so great. To hear all the stories that mike and everyone else shared today…

Thursday night – Sam and Dad

I was down at my Mom’s last weekend. She has been going through a ton of old pictures.. .. They bring back some great memories.

Here’s my favorite so far. It’s a picture of Sam, and my dad.. A perfect fall day and a  big red power wheels jeep. and two great smiles.

. It doesn’t get any better than that

Wednesday night – Clean Slate

Before I start.. I want to send healing vibes out to my Aunt Sis who’s recovering from heart surgery today… We’re all thinking about you See-sa..  Get well soon !

 

Today is March Fo(u)rth.. a command !..   a clean slate. !

The light was even different out side. Diane and I such out for a quick snowshoe at lunch.. we both were down to our sweatshirts it was so warm.. The snow is still very deep.. but it’s begging to feel like spring can’t be far off…

 

the most amazing sign so far though  is this

a completely clean refrigerator.. all the pictures, lists, poems, magnets, coupons banished to some drawer somewhere..

it’s as clean and white as the field behind our house.. awaiting a brand new mess..

just like me !
