I had a very busy day today which I spent entirely in the one air-conditioned room in our house. It was about 91 when I went out for lunch and that was about all of the Heat and humidity I could take. As I always say, my IQ drops a point for every degree above 60 and I was getting pretty stupid by midday.

I did have one treat: my old friend and mentor Paul and his wife Deb were up from North Carolina visiting. Deb's first grandson. Who was born just last Sunday .

I hadn't seen either Paul or Deb in about six years. It was so wonderful catching up with them. They both looked and acted great and unchanged. Paul was my friend mentor and boss for many, many years in IBM. When I look back , those were some of my golden years In IBM. It's funny you never know when you're living then just when those golden years will be.

It was really great being able to tell Paul again just how much he meant to me and my colleagues. He's really one of the most important mentors I've had in my adult life.

Again, what a treat to be able to tell him that.

Nite all, nite sam
