Today was another great and peaceful day.. much busier than yesterday..  Two  social events.. the first was the annual VOMIT   (Vermont’s Own M.I.T. club) picnic..   What a great and eclectic group of nerdy folks.. we had everything from graduates in the 60’s to next years admitees..

We met at the Waterbury reservoir day camping area.. I had brought some fun fire things (flame thrower, pyrodex, potassium permanganate, glycerin) with the intent of doing a special fire lighting experiment.. but the campground was full..not a good place for explosions..small or large.. so we opted for simple charcoal lighter fluid.

 

Somone.. Maybe Laura ? had the great idea of using our bodies to write MIT.. I suggested MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY , but we were a little short on people, so MIT it was.. so .. here we are !

It was a beautiful day for spelling.. here’s a shot of the scenery.. that’s Robin’s meeting.. the mountain in our back yard.. in the background.

It’s beutiful Diane in the foreground..

After VOMIT, I zoomed over to Winooski to see my friends John and Sue who were visiting from California.. They were having a great party at Donny’s Pizza.. which turns out to be run by my friend Dimitrious. .. I got their late.. but there were still plenty of folks.. here are Dimitrious, Greg and Deb, Dennis, Sue John, Ray and his wife.. Very nice to see them all !

here’s another shot of John and Sue and daughter Abby and her boyfriend..

Then home to dinner.. we had both Gabe and Max home for the first time in a long time..TJ was there too..  Dan  showed up just in time for dessert with his new Avacado Lemon sorbet.. so yummy !

 

OK.. can’t keep my eyes open.. more tomorrow…

nite all, nite sam
