• It was very good to take today off. I really needed. I did some thinking about the real meaning of memorial day… I thought about all the veterans in my life… My dad, my father-in-law but what memorial day usually needs to me is it’s very near Sam’s birthday. Sam would’ve been 28 this Thursday on May 28.… He was 14 when he died and it’s been 14 years since… It feels particularly strange.… This year Diane and I going to climb up  Bolton mountain in time for the sunrise on Thursday. Anyone is welcome to join us. I put an invite out on Facebook
• Today we took a great hike… Kyle dropped us off on the notch Road and we walked back towards home. Diane fixed us a great picnic that we ate on a ledge overlooking camels Hump

Attack Brooke… We decided to bushwhack down the beautiful creek. It’s covered with stunning waterfalls. No one ever goes there because it’s so hard to reach

It’s not good to take a swim. And put a Sam Stoneway up in the waterfall

Later on our friends Vince and Maya came by to say goodbye. We’re heading out to Washington. Even at social distancing it’s nice to see new people.

OK… Time for bed.

Nite all, nite sam
