Crazy week… And perfect Friday night afterwards. It’s so great having Dianne here. A bunch of us from work finally broke free around 830 for a great Afghani dinner. So nice being “off-duty” who I love these folks

Hello world… Thanks for all the good wishes today.

It’s so nice to get good wishes from friends all around. Diane is here with me in Munich which makes this birthday really special

I had a great day with friends at work . I live the folks here . We had a great party at the end of the day to celebrate one of our interns, Max’s , last day and my birthday
. 20 pizzas gone like that !

John and Dave made me a surprise message on the magic cube !

Then Stephanie, Diane and Laura and I got stuck in the stairwell without a key. Markus rescues us !

Ok

I am shutting down my email so I can get a good nights sleep . And be here with my Diane

Thanks again everyone . So far 58 is fun !

I just looked up and it’s 1:30 AM… That means it’s my birthday!… It also means I’m no longer 57 years old. The funny thing is I just made the connection with the “Heinz 57″… Whatever that means. I went a whole year… I might even add as a prime number… without making that connection .
Here’s to finding special significance in 58… It’s as old as I’ve ever been… And so far it feels fine!

Tehan is on her way here to see me… Which makes me happy no matter how late it is

Happy birthday to me!

Nite all, night Sam

About 1 AM. I I am winding down after a long day. One of the interesting things that happened to me today is that I got a new computer for my work. That’s good news… But that’s the good news is that the transfer process is taking hours… Maybe 5 hours or something like that. It might be the lousy connection I have year at the hotel… It also may be because I’m such a packrat and have saved every file I’ve ever written.
The baby good news is that the process of transferring all my information is blocking both of my computers and keeping me from doing about the work that I have brought home to work on.… I think that’s good news 🙂

Night all night Sam
