Today is Veterans Day… Makes me really think of my dad Hugh and my father-in-law Gabe. Both served in the Armed Forces. I love these pictures of them

Are used to love hearing my dad stories of his time in the Navy. I think those were some of the most defining times of his life. I still have some of his navy uniforms… It’s fun to look at them wonder what life was like on those little shits

My father-in-law Gabe served in the army… I love this picture to

My brother-in-law Jože just sent this great picture of Grampa gabe as a little kid

My brother-in-law Steve was also a career guy in the army… And he still works there as a civilian… He’s a great storyteller to

I want to send out my thanks to everybody who served

Quick update from here… I’m in Madrid. I’ve still only got part of my voice back… But have a big talk for about 2000 people tomorrow. Wish me luck with that!

I really love the city it’s been nearly 50years since I was here.

It’s so beautiful and fun. The people are great. I got such a warm reception from all the IBM people here. My thanks to all the folks Elisa, Carmen, Carmen, Marta, Marta, (Lots of Carmens and Martas here) Monica, Fernando. For keeping me out of trouble today

I think event is tomorrow and I think it’s going to be really fun… As always I’m nervous about my talk… But hopefully I’ll have a chance to look around later and talk to people… That’s my favorite thing

It’s fun to watch them set up

OK… I got to get some sleep. More tomorrow.

Night all, night Sam
