Woke up thinking about our friend Dylan. He would have been 25 today. Dylan was a close friend of Sam’s and Gabes.. he died in 2011. Like Sam, Dylan’s strong organs went on to save others. He was an amazing guy.. funny, smart.. and an amazing athlete.   I took this picture after Dylan won the Gold in the USA Nationals freestyle event in Copper Colorado . Gabe and I were proud to have been with him there to see that . 

We miss you dylan.. hope all is fresh powder where ever you are !

Happy Pesach everyone.. .. I’m just home from boston tryign out my new commute again. I gotta say that the mega bus , while convienient, is not luxurious.. They could learn soemthing about custonmer service fro all those swank airport launges I hang out in. .. The seats are cramped, the bus is loaud.. but it gets me there for about $37 not bad.. 

 

got home wiht enough light out that we got to go in the woods. Still lots of snow up there, but melting quickly. 

 

THe creeks are all at flood stage with all the melting snow.. It’s amazing to listen to them.. 

 

ok.. time to go play pool wiht Diane.. 

nice to be home !

Still enjoying the buzz of hanging out in Cambridge after so many years. .. It was 40 years ago that I lived here.. hard to believe.. but it really doesn’t feel that different. I still instinctively know my way around !

Here’s the view from my hotel.. with a UFO-like reflection of one of the weird ceiling lights in the window.. 

 

here’s a vewi over the city from my mornign run along the Charles. 

 

it was a long work day.. with lots of meetings with new friends. Dinner with David was fun and interesting,.. then I went back to the hotel and met up with my freind Luca who’s coincidentally here inBoston on a mission from Munich. 

 

O showed him around the MIT campus.
