I’m in newark on my way home from my 11th trip to munich this year..about 250,000 miles.. 71 days there.. and about 14 of those in the air.. strangely enough.. it feels ok..
I’m heading home to take next week off with family and freinds.. I really need it.. I look forward to being witht he folks i love.
On Sunday/Monday we will mark 10 years since Sam’s death.. its unfathonable to me that it’s been that long ago.. or that recent for that matter. It hhas been coming over me a couple of times a day for the last coupel of days.. i had a good cry on the plane and that felt good.
It’s weird to mark an ‘anniversary’. like this.. . A few months back I started to feel soem pressure to ‘do’ soemthing to mark 10 years. but… there really is nothing to ‘do’..
like I said.. I’m lookign forward to being with the people I love and bing happy and sad together..
we’re marking the day on Sunday with a 1PM hike up Bolton and a 5 pm potluck at our house. We’ll make samstones and make soem fire and blow some stuff up in honor of a beutiful kid.. come join us if you’d like
invite is here https://www.facebook.com/events/1757996027751434/.. please share it with anyone you think would like to be there
I did somethign impoulsive on my way home form work tonight.. It was about 9:30 and I hadn’t had a proper meal since.. … hmm… tuesday .. (seriously !) .. I came out of the subway and saw the most beutiful word I’d ever seen
i heard a filet of fish callign me from inside… I could not resist.. i walked in.. and bought one…
I was on a phone call… .. but managed to eat my oh0so-very0delicious sandhich before I made the next corner.
I don’t think i’ve everhad anythign that delicious.. really
Long day.. one of the hilights was a talk by my friend Simon..who was here visitin g with is very nice wife Sian. It was the first in a lecture series that I’ve helped create. Great talk.. great energy in the room.
Simon told teh story of how he became an ultramarathon runner after losing his sight at age 17…
He told soem great stories about how hes helpd develop technology to help him be a better athleete..
Werelooking forward to helping him invent even more !
New friend michael actually 3d printed a version of our building and presented it to Simon !
