Wednesday night (delayed) – lunch

Hi point of yesterday was a really nice lunch with my friend John from Vermont . He also commutes down to Boston for several cool projects. It was great catching up on families, challenges, techie stuff. He’s really an inspiration to me.

It was nice to have a peaceful conversation in the middle of a very hectic day

Tuesday night – home sweet home

We all wome That’s super early this morning and got to the airport by around six. Gabe headed out to Oregon, Max headed out to New Mexico and Raya Diane and I headed back to Vermont. The flights back we’re bumpy but otherwise uneventful. We got off the plane and lo and behold most of the snow was gone. Not all… But you can tell that spring is only a month away. That’s a far cry from the 90° weather we had yesterday.

It was a really great vacation… And it feels really great to be home

Monday night – happy birthday Diane!

Today is my lovely Diane’s birthday. She really is the most awesome wife, mother, friend, doggie mom that I know. I am so grateful that she is my life partner. I love her so much…!

This House in Florida is a great place to celebrate her birthday .!

We had a pretty lazy day… Becky left early this morning. Then Diane and I took a nice long walk on the beach to sand the calluses off our feet

Note her new circuit board hearings… Gabe called them “mother boards and “… Good geek mom humor

We had a big late breakfast and a tiny party . Diane never likes a big deal made about her

Then we took a paddle in the two kayaks. The tide was going out so it was surprisingly hard going and wicked hot… We saw some cool he iguana and birds

Viktor and Pina Came over and Everyone went to the beach while I worked a little bit. Couple of crazy things going on at work… Couldn’t avoid it.… But secretly, I really don’t like sitting on the beach. so I wasn’t too disappointed to actually run into them coming back from the beach when I was heading down to meet them 🙂

Gabe Gabe Victor and Pina a nice collection of pictures from when all the cousins were very young.… There were some great ones of salmon there… And Pina had never met him. It was a nice moment

We all hung out in the pool and spa for a while and then went out for a really nice early dinner. Went to a place called pirate’s something or other… That had excellent seafood!
