Friday night – quaquaversal

quaquaversal is A great word… It means “expanding in all directions at once”… It’s actually part of maxes email address.… That’s the kind of day I had. I woke up early down in Orlando and caught an Uber to the airport. I worked in the whole way back to Dulles airport… Then worked while I was there and then got on my flight back to Burlington.

As soon as I got off the plane my slack told me that Alia The plane we’re building at Bada was on the taxiway it was going up for a horizontal flight. I immediately ran to the window where the crowd gathered wondering at this crazy looking airplane… I was able to watch it takeoff and fly around. It was so beautiful !

I was able to watch the live feed from the Chase helicopter as well.

I… I went over to Beto to get a couple hours of work done and then grabbed A taxi down to UVM for a late afternoon meeting… When I got there I realized that my wallet and my passport were missing… Oh no. Very nice taxi guy took an IOU… And I went inside to my meeting worried about where my passport and wallet were… I assumed I had put them down somewhere. I called my friends at Beto who looked everywhere and couldn’t find it… Luckily I have a tail tracker in my wallet. The last known location was at Burlington airport… So I turned it on entails find your network to see if anyone could locate it. A few minutes later it showed up… Unfortunately still down at Dulles airport in DC. It evidently fell out of my backpack. Luckily the tracker gave me it’s exact latitude and longitude

and I was able to call my friends at United… (where I still have some secret powers)… And they were able to go out and find it to me and luckily it’s now being fedexed back to me. They hadn’t found my passport… Amazingly though just as I was getting worried about that I got a call from the folks at The Burlington airport… I had been at the operations office at the airport getting my fingerprints taken for my SIDA Bad which allows me to be out on the runway which I need to be able to do for my job. Evidently they had taken my passport forgotten to give it back to me. So the good news is both of my items were found.

Diane came pick me up at my meeting and we zoomed over to the airport to get my passport and pay off the poor taxi driver who helped me.… We had just enough time to grab a sandwich and get back to Burlington to see the movie “listen up” for my friend Jess O’Brien. Listen up is a sequel to the “voices project” that Max was part of roughly 15 years ago.… It was a really nice story told by Vermont youth about the issues facing kids in the state. It was pretty poignant… The music was fabulous. After the movie There was a Q&A with a very talented cast
