Our friends Rachel and Tasha Left this morning for Brooklyn… It’s been really nice having them. Rachael and I are coworkers for so many years I can’t even remember… It was really nice being able to talk to her about IBM past present and future. It was also really nice getting to know her daughter Natasha. She’s an amazing kid

After they left I had a really busy day at work… Part of our team met over at d2 To work on one of our demos with our friend jake.… I really enjoy working with all these folks. I know I should details here of the projects but the stuff is just so cool !

There were lots of kids around work because it was a school holiday… My friend web… (My friend Sarah’s son) surprised at all by showing us his Grateful Dead underwear… I happen to be wearing my Grateful that sucks… So I had to take a picture which I call “dawn of the dead”

Later on Dianne picked up Finn… Whose 12th birthday was last week. We had our own birthday party with him with a strawberry cake that he and Diane had made. Is really fun having him around.

happy birthday Finn !

It’s been raining for two days… Almost all the snow is gone. Our friends Rachel and tasha are still here .. So I wanted to at least get Raechel outside. We took a short hike around the gorge… Even with the snow gone it was beautiful. Huntington was way up so seeing the water coming over the falls was a fun adventure

Today was a bit of work day… Our friends Rachael and tasha are here looking at schools. It’s been nice hanging out with them.

I started out the day by taking pictures of all of the alien faces on our bedroom ceiling. I did it for my nephew berticcis who told me about the word “peredolia” Which is the human tendency to see faces and things… So this is for you Berto

Also important to point out that today was “twosday”. that is tuesday the 22nd of deb.. the second. month 2022. at 22 seconds after 10:22 pm

it was. 22:22:22 on 02/22/2022. at that moment . I did the most important thing I could think of… I took a picture of a picture of our kids

‘Linda and David and Willow took off around 10 o’clock this morning… After they left I got out for a run and admired the river ice that had broken up. Some of it is a good foot thick

Then around 2 o’clock our old friend Beckett showed up for a short visit on her way down to Boston. Just as she came my friend Rachel from California showed up. She’s in town with her daughter Natasha looking at schools. So we had a really nice lunch together.

Later in the day ‘Diane and I had a great meeting with police chief Kapitanski about the Richmond parking advisory committee… He’s such a fantastic guy.… Shortly after we got home I got on a call where our good friend Larry was getting and endowed Department head chair at Carnegie Mellon. It was a great ceremony with lots of our friends online.

By the time that was over rachel and Natasha we’re back… They’re going to be staying with us for a few days. It was really fun hanging out with them.
