Alencia and Seamus are now helping me and my friend Tom get the flow container working for BETA . the flow container was a demonstrator created by the company Babaroosa when they were thiking of opening a meow-wolf liek place in Burlington. That didnt work out.. and soemhow the demonstrator ended up at BETA. there are many light features in tehre that are no longer working and soem never worked. .. its been fun workign with Alencia and Seamus to get the birds  on the ceiling working

tonight diane gave a great yoga class  Hannah, and Oliva are here visiting from France.. I was also surprised to see Olivia;s  friend Antoine and Bella  who are up from Brooklyn. I casually mentioned that Max had lived on a boat in Brooklyn. Thye said.. they have a freind who just baugt a boat.. 

we quickly figure out that their freinds had baugh the schamonchi.. the boat that max had lived on.. .. It actually sunk about 6 months ago.. and these new folks are goign to get it back afloat.. How crazy is that ?!!?

love that kind of small world thing is so fun !

Today we did another workshop.. this time at the University of Waterloo.. It went very well. I could tell that the kids enjoyed it.. 

AFter the workshop the guys gave me a ride down to Burlington Ontario . My good friend Karin and her daughter Leni drove all the way from Buffalo to meet me for dinner. I’ve known Karin  since 1979,, 47 years !. She was 8 years old when Ileved wit her family in Vienna Austria.. I’ve stayed in touch with Karin and her family through all those years.. this is the first time i’ve seen her in the US. Leni is studying at Mercyhurst college where she plays hocky for their team. She and her sister are on the Austrian national team.. and might one day play in tehir olympic team .. who knows ?

It was so great catching up with karin and leni.. slots of memories.. lots of fun !
