Greetings from a sweltering hot Brooklyn New York night. I’m down here helping Maks prep for a move out west. Like us he’s got a lot of stuff. I decided to come down and help him fresh from our major attic cleaning. It’s made me a request cleaner. They made some really good progress today. I’m glad to be able to help.

 

started the day with a steamy run around brooklyn .. it started pouring.. but I still took a run inside Pratt where max when to school

their sports team.. if they actually have one.. is called ‘the cannoneers’ .  dont remeber why 

 

 

here s the house I stayed in when I brought max back to school after sam died.. seeing it put me right back in that moment.

 

here’s maxs first dorm 

 

 

I love this campus. its os quiet and green.. right in the middle of the city

I went over to maxs place.. ‘it’s called ‘Happy robot’… but I also see it’s called Bi’et Rachel .. 

(House of Rachel ) .. many of  the signs are in hebrew or yiddish around here. 

 

You should’ve seen this this morning before we started cleaning 🙂

 

 

 

Maybe I’m the only one who can understand a box labeled “sentimental audio”

 

 

 

 

We found some really cool stuff including my father’s collection of navy daggers

 

 

here’s what it looks  like now !

 

 

 

OK… Time to get back to it.

Night all, night Sam

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
