I had an early morning meeting about Generator, the Makerspace that we are bringing to Burlington on Feb 1. Im very excited that the 802 will now have a space that anyone can access. Were in our final preparations before our jan 2 date when we get the keys to our new space in the basement of Memorial Auditorium. After our meeting. .. And before my work day began, chris t and i walked over to take a look at the space.. Though we'd been talking about it for months, id never seen it first hand .. Or so i thought.. We walked up the icy sidewalk to the back of Memorial and walked into the space.. Thats when i realized that we were moving into a space i knew well.. It was where we held the dinner after Sam's memorial service.. That night is a blur to me.. I do remember having a huge pot luck dinner there after the memorial …and being surrounded by family and friends.
Ive been in that space severl times since.: A craft fare, a potluck after a 242 show,, but id never associate this space with Generator,,,
Creating soemthing really good there like this Generator makerspace really makes me feel good,,,
This morning I got an email telling me that the video of the talk i did at TedX Delft in early October had been posted. It was my attempt to talk about the importance of bringing a playful spirit into your work and life.. Sometimes things happen for a reason.. I wasn’t feeling particularly playful about my work today… so I was a little nervous as I sat down to watch the video at the airport…It’s always hard watching yourself talk…
So… How was it ? … I like it../,, The Delft folks did a really nice job of editing .. and i think the points I wanted to make are there.. . There are so many things I wish I would have said.. or said differently, but all in all, i am very glad i did it.
I’m interested to hear what people think..because I want to continue to refine the message.. What did you like, what didn’t you like ? WHat would you suggest to make it better > Eager to get your thoguhts..
Sitting in Armonk New York wearing my third favorite bathrobe. My first favorite bathrobe is definitely the thick blue one that Diane made for me almost 30 years ago. It was almost an Arthurian legend… I knew I would marry the girl who made me a bathrobe and I'm so glad I did. That bathrobe My friend nearly my entire adult life It's just too big to pack when i travel,
the Ibm learning center where i am staying tonight has these really nice bathrobes when you're a guest here. This bathrobe im wearing tonight might be my favorite among equals except that my mother got me one of the bathrobes from this very hotel as a gift several years ago because she So much. (Thanks mom!) So that has to be my third favorite bathrobe.
I say Life is good whenever you're wearing any one of your first three favorite bathrobes. Hope it's good for you now as well.
Last night dads night out was great. One of the hilights was that my friend Bill was wearing his Sam band . Mine broke on vacation this summer. Bill took his off and put it on my wrist. it’s feels very right to be wearing it again..
