Ultra busy day… With lots of things coming due at once. I’m happy to see that at about midnight most of everything is resolved and I can go to sleep.
One fun thing today is that my friend Karin was back visiting Vermont after living in the last year in Chamonix France. It was really good catching up with her. She’s an amazing free spirit… We both talked about futures. Always good to understand where other people are in their lives.

Nice dinner tonight with all of our housemates. We rarely (ever ?) get to sit down all together for a meal. We all chose to do it tonight because Izzy will be leaving before I get back from Singapore.. so this was a good opportunity
It’s so nice having these folks around . They are all so fun
Speaking of nice to have around .. Diane’s day Lily’s are in full bloom.
Sweet dreams

Busy day around the house. It was beautifully cool and breezy this morning we went for a run. Like every day I had to be particularly careful when I passed a certain spot. There’s a stump on the trail… A stump that I actually contributed to when I helped Cut this trail back in The early 2000’s.… I distinctly remember cutting the trees in this section of trail. Anyway… This one stump sticks up about an inch and a half and so many times I will catch my foot on it and end up sprawled out on the trail. Sometimes it happens when I’m going out sometimes it happens when I’m coming back.
It’s always a tremendous jolt.… Sometimes I skinned my knees or my hands.. A couple of days ago I pulled a muscle in my leg.… I thought has always been to go and cut the damn thing down. Show it who’s boss. But on our run… During a particularly insightful conversation with Dianne… I realized that it was better to live with it and just watch out for it and avoid it.
I found two cool rocks That now bracket it like apostrophes. I always see it coming now
You can’t always move your obstacles

It was a tough day at work… Nothing seem to be operating smoothly. Can’t going to details but I was very glad when it was 6 PM. The highlight of my day… And this says a lot… Was Diane showing me the last of the giant hornworms that she been clearing from our tomatoes. These things are 4 inches long and beautiful in their own way… But they are making purée out of our beautiful tomatoes. Look at these things… Are we lucky to live in a planet that has things that look like this and things that look like us and things that look like chocolate chip Cookies (just ate one)
I do have to give these critters credit… This is what they were hanging out in
OK… That’s it for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.
Nite all, nite Sam
