Saturday night – attics of my mind

 So nice to be home. Even when it’s sweltering like this. It reached about 90°F today. But it really didn’t bother me. Diane and I spent the whole day working in the attic. We have a dumpster here because we really would like to clean out 3 1/2 decades of junk. Not because were moving or anything… We just would like to have more space. We spent the day going through zillion boxes of all receipts and check books and calendars… In a month that were some amazing finds. So many pictures and letters… Remember when people wrote letters?. Some really lovely memories… And some sad ones.

 

Here’s a good one… Dianne found her Halloween costume from 1985… And it still fits. She went as a table and I went as a chair

 

At 7 o’clock I got a call from my friend Shannon… There’s been a mixup on schedules and they were expecting me to do a science show today. We discussed it over a month ago but I hadn’t heard back so I assumed it was off.… It wasn’t. I was able to quickly get my stuff together and get over there to do an electricity show for the governors Institute. It was so much fun.

Now back at home going to sleep in air-conditioning. Thank goodness for air conditioning

Friday night – rising heat

Just landed in Newark on my way home  after 2.5 weeks on the road.. I am so looking forward to being home..  I had a very productive week at work ..  I really love the team i’m working with and the project we’re working on. we’re getting near the final sprint.. .. many challenges ahead.. but  I’m enjoying seeing it all come together. .. 

We’re going into a heat wave  with 90 degree F heat  with 97 F (36 C) on Monday !!!!!!! ..

I gotta say.. I dont even care.. at least yet. I’m so happy to be heading home.  It will be good to sweat there
