Hi all. tonight is the star of Yom Kippur.. erev Yom Kippur.. the end of the jewish new year and the strat of the yom kippur fast. and day of atonement.. It’s the days where jews go around and figure out how they’re going to atone for their sins through the pervious year. You’re supposed to apologzie to anyone you may have wronged during the year.. so . if I pissed any of you off.. and you didn’t deserve it… then.. I’m sorry.. If you did deserve it.. I’m still sorry 🙂
. I’m home in bed sick… ugh.. I think I may have what Gabe had.. whcih we think was Coxhaxie virus… I’ll know better tomorrow… Right now it’s about 8:30 and I am lying in bed trying to stay awake.
I still ahve a few pictured from last night.. .. which began with a beautiful late afternoon soccer game at CHMS..
I ran into Brianna H.. playing field hockey. I’ll always remember a conversation she and I had where she told me she wanted to be a scientist (Marne biologist) .. but said she couldn’t cuz she wasnt good at math… I hoped I talked her through that.. she’s a good kid.. and would make a good scientist.
We got home just at dark and it was about t dip below freezing. Diane went out and made what must have been the last harvest of the year.. she rescues all of my hot peppers and the rest of the eggplants.
She’d made a cake in honor of her mom’s birthday.. so wedug into it and sang Happy Birthday Marcia.. (Hope she sent you a piece Marcia !)
Right after dinner I headed to Homers to work on the hundered s of small remaining details in project-x
Seth and I were workign on the head to finish integrating all the elctronics.. we had the debate on.. so the creature was doing a fine time of lip-snching John McCain.. This looks ready for YouTube, no ?
..
I didn’t get home until 1:O0.. and boy was I tired..
Today was interesting.. There was more churn from the financial crisis .. again.. that stuff is so mcuh in a differnt world for us.. the churn it was causing me at work actually became a bit surreal.. and from that it actually became a little bit fun in an absurd way. That was a much more fun way to view the situation.
Listen folks.. its’s only money. in the ned it dwosn’t matter much.. I called DIane midday to talk about soem of the weird stuff that was going on.. and we both came up with the interesting perspective that in soem ways.. a crisis like ths is an opportunity for change, learning and surprise.. Call me an anarchist.. but I think this financial slide is going to be fun in a scary sort of way..
Speakign of slide.. I’m sliding out of conciousness.. .. so more tomorrow.. Nite folks.. love you Sam -me
