Halloween night… Always our kids favorite night. Always a day of real nostalgia for us. I remember so many nights shuttling the kids to some neighborhood which actually had houses that were close enough together to actually get candy. I would wait back and take all the peanut butter cups!

The last several years we’ve been taking our young friend Finn out trick-or-treating. This year Finn is nine. He went as a shark… So Diane made us some really funny lifeguard outfits

It was pouring rain… But we weren’t the only ones braving the elements. That said it was almost 70° out and tomorrow is November. That’s like 30° warmer than it should’ve been. I wasn’t complaining

It was fun tromping around Hinesburg… Candy selection was good

GabÉ called in from Portland to say happy Halloween

The early part of the day was busy too. Lots of work stuff going on. But I took some time to go to Vermont business Council talk on AI by Tim Urban which was very entertaining and very good

I Had lunch with seven ibm new hires . It was so great meeting them. We’re scheming for something fun we can do together… Hopefully around outreach

Now I have to get out of my lifeguard costume and dry off. I have a funny feeling that the red sharpie Diane used on the costume is now what color I am underneath.

Nite all, nite Sam
