Bill is one of my oldest friends and mentors. I met him in 1978 my sophomore year at MIT…. He’s from waits field and is actually one of my original connections to Vermont. He’s an amazing Artist, designer and physicist. .. one of the smartest an most interesting people I’ve ever met.

I woke up this morning eager to go for a run.. there was a hitch, though.. i had no runnign shoes. You might recall that I’d managed to forget my suitcase at the airport last night.. and .. of course.. my runnign shoes were in that bag. What to do ?
I went to look for old pairs of shoes.. and look what I found.. a pair of nearly brand new ASICS that had been my dads. Dad was a runner for nearly 40 years … these were good..
My dad left big shoes to fill
I slipped them on.. a little tight, but comfy.. I ran in them.. and that felt good..
they were so comfy that I wore them all day.. and it was a very busy day.. it started with me finding this spider in my backpack.. must have hitched a ride in my latest trip
i was wearing those shoes when we went up to hep our good friends Time and Jen move out of their house
I helped jen unpack about 400 recently fired samstones
once all the furniture was moved.. we went back home .. then started taking down our storm windows
Since I had to put the windows away, i had to move the stuff for the trampoline.. so I set that up
by the end of the day we’d done a huge list of chores around the house,
By t
he end of that, we were ready for soem relaxation. Our freinds Kevin and Betsy were up visiting thier daughter Meagan and BF Sam .. s\We met them for dinner at Mexicalis’
All done wearing my dads shoes
They say you dont knwo a man until you’ve walkeda mile in his shoes..
I know my dad.. and I know his shoes..
Miss you Pa

Just home after 3 days of travel.. I must be loosing my marbles.. I left my lap top charger in the meeting room at work last night.. got it back early this morning, but then go lost not he way to my meeting. .forgot when I’d scheduled 2 meetings.. the .. left my checked luggage at the airport when I got off the plane.. Am I distracted ? Or ?.. It’s strange after seeing my dad’s battle with dimness.. any slip or slowness in my mind .. or misplaced item triggers and alarm. Why couldn’t I come up with that name ? that formula ? that fact ? Maybe just got too much stuff rattling around in my head..
Hope so
