I took most of the day off today to go with gabe and Diane on a tour of University of Vermont. It was the admitted students day and gave us trying to decide if he would like to go to UVM. We heard some talks, attended some topic lectures, look at the dorms etc.
It was interesting seeing the place that I'd walked around for over 30 years from a parents perspective. It's really a nice place.I think it would be very happy and very successful there. He's got some choosing to do. We'll see.
I saw a cartoon on the walls of one of the dorm hallways. It really moved me so I wanted to share here. It Really made me stop and think,..
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Gotta think about that
Nite all, nite sam

Ps I lost my Fitbit this morning and was worried That is fallen off during my run this morning. When I got home this afternoon I tried looking forward in the laundry and in my bed but no luck. I picked up my phone and realized that my phone was still able to communicate with the device but just barely. I looked everywhere was about to give up when I had an idea. I brought up a program I've used to debug Bluetooth connections. I walked around the house until I could find the radio on the Fitbit trying to call home. I walked around looking at whether the signal got stronger or weaker.
I thought it was upstairs but nope, the signal was stronger downstairs. I went outside… No luck. I came back inside and was looking around and for some reason it kept taking me back over towards the kitchen. How could it have fallen off in the kitchen? Then I saw it
It was in the sink drain. Who knows how it got there but hey I was able to find it.
