Long story.. but too tired to tell it right now. Had a great day.. I attended
an all day meeting with about 120 friends.. and it was face to face.. the way it
should be. We had soem great speakers… got to socialize.. really enjoyed it
Around 7 I drove down to have dinner in Brookklyn with Max and his roomates.. It was
so great seeing him !… I was goign to spend the night.. but my complicated plan for tomorrow morning (more on that tomorrow) .. made staying there too tough.. so instead, I drove back up to Beacon NY.. am now sleeping (>) in the parking lot of the train station.. As I said.. I’t s a long .. but so far really fun story. I have pictures.. but given that it’s very late.. I’ll have to upload them later.
One thing I do want to do tonight is announce our Halloween party. This is a long standing semi-tradition. We’ve had this party on an doff for years.. we’ve not wanted to feel forced to do it every year.. but it has brought the community together. Given that this would have been Sam’s Senior year in high school (it is so strange typing a sentence like that ). We wanted to have the party for his friends.. before they go off to college.. I think that will be good for Sam’s friends and for us.. So…..announcing:

There was a day when the initials ‘IBM’ were said to stand for “I’ve Been Moved”.. but those days are gone.. everyoen works virtually somewhere in cybersace. I still cling to the ancient habit of having an office ina a building with real.. or at least mostly real.. people also work .. Today I was evicted from my current office and made to make the exodus across the river to the main site I didn’t do anything wrong.. it’s just that IBM will be leasing the building I’ve been in for the last 17 years. .. come to think of it.. my office has been within a few yards of this spot since 1982… that’s (gulp) 27 years !. Believe it or not.. my current job is the only job I’ve ever had.. or even applied for as an adult.. how’s that for another outmoded custom..
Anyway.. you can sure collect a ton of stuff in that amount of time.. Two offices worth actually. and today I had to box all of it up and label it for shipping a quarter of a mile away in essex. First came the relatively easy part of dismantling my office.That took less than an hour.. Noting too fancy there.. the only interesting things are a 1 ton chunk of granite which I use as my desk and a really cool hand painted Adirondack chair which Max made.
