Today was a workday. We have a big demo do this week for our board meeting at Beta Study hall showed up and worked all day Sunday. Bad as it sounds it was really pretty fun. Such a great group of people and I think we’re building something fun and beautiful

about five I headed home and picked up Dianne and we went to tim and jens To watch the Super Bowl. They had a great spread a snack food… And we really enjoyed watching the game and the commercials. I have to admit I really enjoyed watching football this year

One thing I heard on the radio early today was that some people choose instead of celebrating the Super Bowl they celebrate the superb owl… Just a difference of one space in a whole different focus on endangered birds 🙂

Words are fun like that

It was so nice being at home. We got in a good snowshoe after a fall start. We both had sock fails that required us to go home and change. Even so I ended up with blisters from my new boots.… It was beautiful snowshoeing we went way up around Honey Hollow into some territory we’ve never seen. The snow is still quite thick despite the warm weather.

Later that evening our friends Paul, Ellen and their dog Giorgia came over. Paul brought his brand new tenor guitar and serenaded us all evening. He’s such a great musician and great storyteller. I’ve known him longer than anyone else i’ve known in Vermont

Just being around them brings back such great memories

Friday it was a super busy day.… We (beta) Pig pig board meeting next week. My team it’s doing the “studyhall” projects are trying to show off one of our creations at the meeting. We had very full workday on Friday.… But not before the team gave me a little birthday celebration. It was so sweet. I love the people I work with there !!!

It was a strange evening… It was in the 50s… with very cool cloud patterns

Our good friends Tim and Priscilla came over for a quiet dinner. It was so nice to actually see them in person !

It’s so good to actually be able to get together face-to-face a little bit more freely

Thursday was just a travel day. We packed up all the scanner Steph, say goodbye to my mom and head into the airport…

It had been a very good visit.

Travel home was uneventful… I have been largely off-line since Sunday so it took me the entire trip back to try to catch up with my email… Can’t say I got all the way through it.

The one nice thing is that we had a long delay in Chicago so we took a really long fast walk around all the terminals just to get some exercise. Fun to break a sweat in an airport
