I’m writing tonight from Palo Alto California. I’m out here with Max to go see Makerfaire
a huge celebration of making things. Max met me at 7AM this mornign at JFK. It was so good to see Max..He’s living in Brooklyn this summer and I hadn’t seen him since I’ve gotten back from The Colony..We flew cross country to San Fransisco then hopped Caltrain down to Palo Alto where our friend Laurance met us with a car we could use.. Laurence and her husband Rafe are very dear friends of mine/. Rafe was my suite mate at MIT some 31 years ago .. (OMG !) Max and I will be staying with them for the two days we’re out here.
Max and I dropped Larance at home then went out in search of food.. we grabbed soem veggie sushi downtown which was a treat..

then we headed up to the Stanford radio telescope park and foudn a
place to lie down in the shade. Both of us were runnign on very little
sleep. I was out in seconds.
The teelscope itself was looming back in the distance.. It’s quite pretty, actually…
Which is more than I can say for my big toe.. posing here wiht the Standord University clock tower. I always love Stanford.. I got in here for graduate school out decided t go to CMU instead.. it worked out great in pittsburgh.. but it’s always fun to wonder what it would have been lile living here.
Around 5 we headed the short distance back to Rafe and Laurance’s new house.
It was the first tie I’d met their new baby Sophie who’s now 1 and a half…
and only the second time I’ve seen Sabine who’s 4 and a half.. Sabine and I made a lady out of broken cornn chips.. yum !
We went out and got some chineese take out .. then sat around and talked ’till we all nearly fell asleep on the floor.. OK.. truth be told.. only I fell asleep on the floor. It’ sreally wonderful to be out here with Max.. and with Rafe and his family…
My leasson for the day came from the beer we were drinking.. the label says “Einfach Leben”.. or “live Simply”.. What good advice.. do I think I can ever get my life to ‘simple’ > I’m trying I think
OK.. nite everyone. Nite Sam !
