Hello from state college. Diane and I drove down here from endicott today.. or I should say diane drove and I worked.. as we listened to the new malcom gladwell book .. pretty good so far..

We made an ill planned stop at colton state park.. it was beautiful.. but much more out of the way than we thought .. it turned our 3 hour drive onto a five hour drive. It was pretty though

We got to state college around 5.. which gave us enough time to check in and settle at the hotel before going to pick up max at the airport.

The hotel has a strong sports the,e that is lost on the two of us.. but its very fun

We had a great night eating in the room with food wed brought from endicott..

Around 9:30 we took off to explore town.. we ended up in a cool basement sheesha bar/ tea house/ cereal bar / vinyl record shop / head-shop. / video arcade

Diane and max played a very cool pinbal game..

Around 10:30 our freidms matthew and carolime came in..

It was great catching up with them

Ok.. more fun toMorrow for Shannon’s wedding

Ok.. gotta sleep

Nite all, nite sam

– me…
