We spent the mornign workign aroudn the house in prep for Max, Becky, Gabe and freidns arrival starting next Monday. In prep we’ve installed new wood working, painted the front entrance way, helped build a new wood shed, and cleaned every room in the house,   today we worked in the yard until the moment I had to run for a plane. I’m heading down to DC for the National Academy of Engineering Annual Meeting . It’s. a meeting I really enjoy.. full of great talks and fantastic networking.   I admit that feel guilty being gone for two days while diane continues to prep the house for the coming week… The house looks great.. but I know  it will look even better by the time I get back on Monday..  

nite all, nite sam
