Woke up today feeling good enough to travel.. I have to say… I did Covid the hard way.… But very glad to be past it. It was kind of fun and interesting just to sit on the couch and do nothing for three days… Not something I very often do. Even with Covid, we had a really nice trip here.… We spent last night having yet another birthday celebration watching movies and scratching the dog and the cat. Pretty wonderful

Today was a pretty easy flight back.. long, but productive as I caught up on all that I hadnt done while I was sick. One cool surprise was that MeowWolf was on the cover of the United magazine.. and it was a peirce that Max and Becky had worked on.. how cool is that ?!:! 

We got home about midnight.. and it sure felt good !

My only regret for the day was missing the opening reception for the CoCreated : The artist in the age of intelligent machines show at Burlington City Arts. My friend Chris Thompson curated it and Im so excited to see it.. We’ll go see it as soon as we can

Happy birthday to me !.. I entered the world 64 years ago today with he help of my loving mom and dad. It’s been an amazing ride so far.. I’m so grateful for my family. friends, community, job that even covid cant mess up my birthday. If you’re reading this.. thanks for being part of my life !

Thanks to all the family and friends that checked in to say HBD !

Its really nice to be here with Diane, Gabe, Sam, Nova and Sequoia. on my birthday.   It was kind of a bonus birthday so we celebrated again (!) this time with excellent Mexican food (which I can now taste again) and Marion berry cheesecake !

We watched another great Pixar movie tonight.. Luca.. about an Italian merkid.. It was fun and uplifting.. 

Perfect birthday

I’m SO glad we moved our flight.. There is no way I could have flown today.. I still had  fever , cough, sore throat and chills.. but I felt a little bit better. I spent the day on the couch just hanging out.. and being grateful I wasn’t on a plane ! ,,

By the end of the day I realized there was no way I was going to be ready to fly tomorrow.. so I changed our flights yet again (plan 4 ?) to go back on Friday.. Thats a bummer because I’m going to miss the opening of the ai art show my friend Chris has put together it’s called “Co-Created: The Artist in the Age of Intelligent Machines”.  I know it’s going to be really great. Check it out !

Here are the only pics I took today ..

So.. the current modified plan (Plan 2) was for me and diane to head back to Vermont on Wednesday..   As Tuesday went on I began to realize I was still too sick to be on a plane with other people.  No one ones to sit next to someone who’s shivering and coughing on a plane..   So we pushed our flights out another day.. to Thursday now 

We decided that after Diane had already made me a my favorite (!!!!) birthday cake.. APPLE  CAKE !  So we decided to go ahead and have birthday celebration number 1.    We had  Indian take out (which I couldn’t taste at all.. so weird !).. and then came the cake and ice cream !  (Even Nova had ice cream) . 

Thanks to my wonderful family.. I had a great covid birthday I !
