Friday night – goodbye colbert !

woke up to a cold morning /… which is still nice as the heat starts to build

Diane and I have a ritual of watching Stephen Colbert in the morning while we do our stretching.… Not anymore… Today we watched his last video… After 47 had him fired. So stupid. Anyway, we get most of our news from the comics because they have a really good perspective. The Colbert farewell show was such a great outpouring of love and humor… It’s really cool to see him leaving with his head held high. We really enjoyed it and we really appreciate all he’s done for our understanding of the world.

 

 

we’re going to miss that show so much

headed inside a little sad.. this pictuer of Nava helping Gabe with his thesis cheered me up 🙂 

we got another doggie fix by taking our next door doggie freind Oaklee on a walk up bamforth ridge towards the window

having lots of fun at work.. doing some fn sceince.. and still some dd jobs.. like this

I’m helping my friend Thom revive the old Babirusa flow container. The electronic lock on the door ran out of batteries so no one could get in… So I had to pick the lock. one of my most useful hidden skills . Glad I still have that in me. 🙂 

Nite all, nite sam
