I got on a plane again today.. I’m heading out to California. I am giving a talk next Tuesday about how we can interest more students in electronics careers.  I changed my plans to go out earlier because I just learned that my very good friend Rafe was not feeling too well.. 

I got out to Rafe and Lolo’s hose about 5:30.. 

I got a tour of Lolo’s gardens and kefir making operation.. and caught up with Rafe.. in addition to catching up.. I l heard about how he was feeling.. and the treatments he’ll be having.  Sounds like he’ll be ok..

I was also  in time to see their oldest, Sabine, head out to her Prom..   youngest daughter Sophie and niece Madeline  helped get Sabine ready. She looked beutiful. Its great seeing Rafes kids again.. They are adults now.. and really wonderful adults at that !

Refs nice and nephew Madeleine and Mateo are in town.. and rates sister and brother in law Roma and Tom are coming tomorrow for Sabine’s graduation..

I’m really glad to be out here .. 

note all, nite sam
