Today marks the 37th anniversary of my first day at IBM.. I can  still remember walking into the building .. I was wearing a blue sweater.. which seems kinda weird in early august.. Its been a long strange ride.. mostly fun.. lots  of good friends, lots of miles.. lots and lots of cool technology.. all in all a very good time..

I spent most of the day in Cambridge in meetings of one kind or another in my new role. then around 3 I headed for NYC to help Max prep for his coming move to Santa Fe. It was about a 5 hour drive.. lots of traffic. good thinking time. 

I got to Max’s around 8.. we ordered take out Thai and ate in  Becky’s back yard. 

 

 

a cople of Max’s freinds came by.. bridget, bruce.. and…. dang.. cant remember.. but really nice guy.. 

now I’m in an  airbnb .. a single room in a  mutiroom apt. Kinda icky.. but not too bad.

i’m going to try and sleep. More tomorrow

nite all. nite sam

Gabe and Raye woke early today and were ready to  drive awy at 7:30.. it was a great send off. they were ready and packed  the night before.. so this mornign was easy and fun…

 

it is a big deal the he’s leaving here.. with him  moving  to Portland and Max moving to santa fe  we’re really empty nesters..  it feels  strange.. but also good. our kids are exploring their world and thats how it should be. 

 

I’m so excited for gabe and raya’s trip.. and so , so , so excited abotu Gabe’s move to IHSU in Portland.. it will be interesting to see how he gets on there.
