High point of today was a visit to Beta of a big group of  realtors.  THey’d asked to come for a quick tour..so we had fun showing them around. I even had two friends in the group.

We have so many folks coming In to the business these days its fun to know the  folks who are helping them find homes.

Sometimes you just have days like that 🙂

Tonight we had one of our semi regular ‘dads nights’ Thanks to our friend Jake we’ve been doing this since Max was 3.. so a bit more than 30 years. Originally, what we had in common was very young kids.. now its more than that.. not everyone even has kids. We’ve been through lots of life together..   births, marriages, divorces, career changes, grandkids, loss,../ all things  good and not good.. and we’re still drinking beer together..  It was great catching up with the guys. 

 It’s a very comfortable and fulfilling thing.

Tonight was our annual Fall Meeting for VASE (Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering)   Kyle was the speaker and gave a really great talk about what we’re doing at BETA. (He always gives good talks. !) The audience was small.. and  there were a ton of questions. 

We then moved on to our social gathering at the Middlebury country club.. There was great food and great conversation. I particularly enjoyed catching up with my friend Alan who’s a world  renowned climate scientist, He told me about some  truly mystical experiences he’s had related to Gaia.. the organism that is our world. I want to hear more. 

There was a short business meeting where we announced our 3 new members (I got to introduce  my friend Dean Linda Schadler ).. then we heard from Greg Wolf, our teacher of the year. He’s a recently retired middle school science teacher whose created a big (325K) following on TikTok with his science demos.   His content is so simple and so fun..  Katie and I got to talk to him afterwards.  Even though Greg’s moved to conencticut, we agreed to meet next time he’s back in Vermont. I would love to work with him !

I love my Vase peeps..
