Because of time zones, this stuff got pushed into the next day, but at the end of yesterday, my dearest and oldest friend rafe came by to hang out and meet some of my friends. It was really fun… He drove 13 hours to get back from Utah and we were able to spend a couple of hours together. It was so great to see him… It was fun watching him interact with some of the high school kids. He’s a natural at this.

Now this morning… All of the students were going back to open sauce I was heading back to Vermont… I had a whole bunch of stuff to get done this week so one and a half days of open sauce was all I needed. There were a bunch of people hanging around, looking exhausted and happy… We all ate cold pizza that we found outside. Now t is a hackathon.

I got to SFO and got on the plane to Newark. We were late landing because our stupid president felt he had to go to the last World Cup game in New York and stopped traffic in and out of New York City for like an hour and a half… Here we are circling.

I’m not sure, but I think this is three Mile Island

Then we were in Newark and then eventually I got a flight back to Burlington… It was like an hour and a half late and no Ubers are lit lifts around so I took a $65 taxi ride home. Being in a taxi after using Uber and Lyft seemed like I was stepping back a few centuries… But it was fun.

Super glad to be back home… Diane comes back tomorrow. Can’t wait to see her.

nite all, nite sam
