Sunday night – Cider

Another rainy day… Diane and I Had a quiet morning… I said in a little on the Meditation course ‘Diane was taking… That was really nice. Midday our friends Chris and Kim came by

and then this afternoon we went and picked up our new friend Anna… Ana is the daughter of my friend Randy from IBM Rochester Minnesota Anna just moved to Burlington to start a PhD in biology. We picked her up this afternoon and took her to Ben’s where a group of my friends Was pressing cider from apples that were picked last week from Ben’s trees.… It was really fun… And the stuff is pretty tasty!

Time for bed… Next weeks that’s my first full week of retirement… I think I’m only working 4 out of the 5 days 🙂

Saturday night – Pleasantly lazy

Nature cities and much-needed rainy day today. It was needed by the plants and rivers… It was also needed by me… They and I just hang around the house and did odd projects. I did a sketch up at my shop which I’m going to redo… And sorted out a whole bunch of stuff to throw on giveaway or recycle from there. I’m gonna be using it a lot more . Diane made Sam stones I did some yoga… Do you like the whole day was about not doing Too much…

Kind of blissful

ps  What’s unbelievable is that over 165,000 people have looked at my retirement letter on LinkedIn… That blows my mind

Friday night – 16 Hours of retirement

Retiring last night was quite an amazing experience. It’s been so fun hearing from people on Facebook and LinkedIn (check out https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johncohn_dear-friends-with-gratitude-and-excitement-activity-6849515628215328768-JIrC)

I didn’t stay too retired today. I had a couple of meetings at Beta today where I’m doing some contract work about science demos for kids…

Then I went to UVM to work with my friend David Hammond… He’s helping with some of the better demos kind of looking at the art of the possible. He’s put together a really nice jewelry and photography demonstration that allows us to see air currents… I’m trying to figure out if that could be used to visualize aerodynamics…. Here’s the set up and the new color set up David did that allows color imaging of things like a candle flame

Tonight we had a really nice dinner with gesso and lauren… First time we’ve actually had another couple over for dinner in a long time… They brought along belle .

I think I could get used to this !
