I’ve had the weirdest day… I’ve been taking over-the-counter cold and flu medicine (NyQuil and DayQuil) and I feel like I am really drunk or high or something. The whole day has been surreal.

now I’m home… And really really sleepy… More tomorrow

Well actually not home but close enough. I’ve stopped in Albany to give one more talk. When I landed I had fever and chills and cramps and you don’t want to know….

Going to bed right now to figure out if I can shake this.

More tomorrow

Night all ; night Sam

Had a very good day at the think of it in Madrid. There are about 2000 people there. I was nervous about my talk (as always) but it went fine. I got to meet a ton of really nice people. Man I just love Spaniards. They are so funny and fun !

Around 4 o’clock I caught a ride with Alisa back to the Ibm site and then walked home through this beautiful city

Around 4 o’clock I got a ride with Alyssa back to the IBM site and then walked home to this beautiful city

I didn’t plan my evening very well… I got some extra sleep because I don’t to get in a couple of hours last night… When I woke up I had a beer with my friend Elisa who came by… That was fun…

Then I got wrapped up into work meetings from home. Totally not fun. By the time I was finished it was too late to do anything… So I walked around looking for a quick restaurant couldn’t find any so I found a grocery store. I bought a whole bunch of junk food including a can of anchovies that were in a theft proof container. That was strange. So I had cheese and anchovies and bread in my room… Not bad at all

I hope to wake up early and run around the city a little bit to get some more sightseeing in before my plane tomorrow

Ok . Going to get some sleep… more tomorrow

Nite all, nite Sam
