I woke this morning at 9:30… 9 hours of sleep !!!.. I met up with my freinds John. David and Eric at 10 and headed to the Deutsches Museum… beutiful walk ..
on the way We stopped for breakfast… ..
where I learned tha Leanard Cohen had died..
It really hit me.. I’d been thinkign of him quite a bit recently ..he was much in the press recently.. he just put out a new album at age 82… I just read a great article about him in the New Yorker.. I wonder.. Did he know it was near his time ? .
I’m laying in bed in the hotel listenign to lots of his old songs.. Suzanne, Hey thats no way to say goodbye, Angels of Mercy.. Chelsea Hotel (one of my favorites).. So long Mariane Perfect Blue Raincoat…
Just hear ‘Who By Fire’. based ona Yom Kipper prayer… I always liked Cohen’s music.. it resonated with me and put me in a nice and sad mood…
thats what I feel like feeling right now..
Current mood aside… had a great day .. the detches museam was a wonderful geekfest…
they had a fantastic high voltage setup and demo !
(scott.. they had an amazing Marx generator.. you would have loved it !!!!)
they had a great aircraft exhibit.. including soem movies of the hindenburg.. did you knwo it had swastikas on it ?
one of my favorite parts was the historical computing exibit
we also saw a cool liquid nitrogen demo..
and I foudn a ‘perpetual motion’ proposal by someone with Dianes Last Name and the kids middle names !
and I found diane and all three kids initials on a building
had a great veggie meal downtown.. where trump was never far away..
ok.. time for sleep… more tomorrow
