Thursday night – winding down

It definitely feels like things are winding down for the year.. There was a great sweatshirt give away at BETA today for all employees.. such a great place to work.. I worked on a fund thermal camera demo…   Then dinner wiht Finn after his basketball game.. 

Definitely feels like  the year is slowing down..

I love this time of year !

Wednesday night – unpacking Fluffy.. for real

I’d been looking forward to this day. This evening  the 7 core members of the team that built Fluffy for burning man this year met up at Hula for a fascillitated debreif.. It’s been a good 3 months since the playa.. and about 8 months since we began the project. Coco had arrainged for her friend Pete..a. psychotherapist and social worker to facilitate. It was a great session. it was aimed at figuring out what went well.. what could have gone better and what we were going to do going forward. The cool thing is that despite a  ton of struggles and setbacks.. we were all still good friends.. we used the time mostly to plan our approach to next year. The conversations were deep,  personal.. and constructive.  so I don’t feel its right to share them.. but It was fun to see the differnt types of minds and spirits working…

 




I love these folks..

Tuesday night – D2

Quick huke up duxbury window to wake up .. then back to work
This week included getting settled in to a new work space at Beta. Over the last couple of weeks our small studyhall team has moved our operations to one of the satellite building D2. We share a space now with he good folks in subscale and industrial design. Much easier to work over there.. though it does feel a little like the Galapagos islands.. a bit cut off from what else is happening  in the rest of the Beta world. The people over there make it special though.. jake, evan carson, henry, alex, luke.. such great folks !

 

Thanks D2 for making us feel welcome !

Monday night – Ric’s party

Busy day back at work.. nice end to it. I went to our friend and financial advisor Ric’s Christmas party.   Ric has been such a great help over the years helping us plan for the future.. We’d been in much worse hsape if i hadn’t wandered into  the pizza event he sponsored at ibm back in 1982.Saw Many friends there including friend  John H.  Nice  touch is that they even had NA Beer !

 

 

 

Then home for more sorting through old IBM stuff.. came across my first patent .. and a few other favorites in the stacks 

 

Takes me back !
