Friday night (delayed) – Gina , bill and Bonnie

Still catching up on a week of missed posts .. it’s hard to get this behind !

On Friday night we went over for a really nice dinner at our friends Gina and bills. There friend Bonnie from Rhode Island was up too. Bonnie is Gina’s good friend from college whom we’ve met before . It was really nice hanging out in the porch enjoying the duffle t cool weather .. it’s been in the high 80’s all week so low 60s felt great. Z.

Bill and Gina told us about watching the plane making an emergency landing in the Pratt’s field . Pretty dramatic !

There was a great old picture of Gina and Bonnie from st mikes in the 70s

Chris used to be the head curator at Burlington city arts then he was the exec director of generator. Now he’s semi retired and doing art full time . Chris had great vision and is good at getting people together . His bca show “user required” helped kick start the whole

Arts meets tech maker movement here in the state . He just got a grant to out on a show at BCA on the art of AI next spring . It was so fun brainstorming with him about all the ways he can show art using AI and AI using art . He’s collecting a list of potential collaborators here in Vt and elsewhere . I think it’s going to be so much fun to work with him on this !

Tuesday night (delayed) – bounty

Still trying to catch up from a total week of not posting .. it feels really weird to have gone that long without writing … I’ve been writing everyday for 15 years (!) .. it seems a shame to give that up

Thinking about last Tuesday what I remember most was the amazing bounty we’ve been getting from the gardens this year . It’s thanks to Diane’s green thumb and the unusual heat . We have tons and tons of tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, and the best crop of peppers we’ve ever had , lots of beautiful poblanos and more jalapeƱos than I’ve ever seen .

Our baskets runneth over

Nite all, nite sam
