Not much to report today… It was a windy warm and rainy day here… Which meant it was a good day to stay inside and work… And that’s just what I did. I did some work around the house until about 11 and then worked on a job work until now. That’s about a 10 hour workday on a Sunday… I kind of promised myself I would stop doing that. But I have a deadline. And it something fun… So I guess I can’t complain too much.
I’m going to have to find some extra source of I’ve played this week… Not sure that’s in the cards either though…
Very slow and peaceful day. Dan and I both wanted to just take it easy. Took the dogs out for a walk… Then Matt channel or for a beautiful ski in some pretty private trails behind where they live. It was so beautiful and conditions were great. It was nice to be outside get some exercise.
We went back to John Lawrence and had a really nice lunch… But combination of the workout and lunch and then John’s cello plane… He’s new to the instrument but pretty good… Put me into a food coma pretty quickly. I woke up about 20 minutes later
Just spent about 2 1/2 hours trying to catch up on email. Strangely satisfying to work through your inbox. Funny how some little of it really matters.
Back home in Vermont… Stopped in Montpelier for the fifth meeting ever state a high Council. I’m really going to love those meetings. Got home at 5 o’clock define the house full of nice people. We’re having a potluck before our friend Leticia’s concert tonight.
Leticia plays in the Stelaria Trio. She plays viola, and there’s a cello and piano. All of them are such great musicians. Tonight they played a Haydon piece a modern piece by a woman named Jennifer Higgins which I loved… And a Brahms piece. All were really good.
The teachers daughter was wearing a dress that looked just like my socks
Busy day here at MIT… Full of many different things. One very interesting element of today is that a film crew from Berlin was here to interview me for a deal were working on. It was very interesting experience. I got to talk about something that I’m truly passionate about for about two hours as I walked around MIT. It was a little strange being followed by cameras and talking… But it brought back memories of being on tv
Tonight we had a closing meeting and farewell dinner to my colleagues visiting here from Karlsruhe. It’s been a great week having them here. We went to an interesting restaurant called Spyce. That is 100% robotic. The food is combined, chopped, cooked and distributed by industrial robots. It was good and cheap.
Time for sleep now. Got a busy day tomorrow as well.
