Tonight my friend James and I checked out the Dark Star project at Zen barn. I met James through my freinds Mike and Alia… They introduced me to James after his son Boshop died last year, That kind of intro happens pretty often because of Sam’s death. I actully enjoy (.. not the right word buyt close).. being able to meet others who are workign their way through grief for a bunch of reasons. I like doign it becaus efols were there for me whne sam died.. and I also like it.. bwecause its a way to meet new people. James is a chess teacher and a very interesting guy. He’s also a deadhead.. ZB has a grateful Dead cover band of some sort almost every wednesday. .. I hadn’t been in a long time. Turns out that the Dark Start project front man is my old freind Bil.. who used to be Max’s sax teacher about 25 years ago ! He and the band were absolutely aw4somne .. . It was a great xcrowd.. my friends Coco and Tom were there (it was Toms birthday)..Cathy,. and her husband, and my freind Ted from work,.. Super fun night.
I’ll try to get back for these as often as I can !
Good day at work. Making some fun progress on an important project.
During a call today in one of the phone booths I came across this mathematical limerick. .. cute !
fter work there was a fluffy conclave and potluck at Rebars.Definitely consensus that we are not ready to stop fluffing ! We’re tryign to figure out how many events we’ want to do or fluffy this year.. and how we’ll get enough money to pay for her maintenance and transport..
FIrst night back.. It was raining a bit which was causing the snow to melt.. The rivers were rising. The feild across from us was already filling with water when I headed to work.
After work went up to Mike’s house to work a bit on the EEL. Then we went out for dinner at Waterworks. It was really nice catching up.
The winooski was running super high right outside the resturant. Here’s the view from our table
Nice to be home.. though missing diane nite all, nite sam -me
Got up and out of the house around 8. It had been such a great trip. DIane is staying one more week to take care of Nova.. and help ut Gabe with some house stuff as he write his thessis.. He’s gettign close ! Super proud of him .
.. Gabe drove me to the airport.. and I worked my way back across the country uneventfully
In Chicago I ran into my good friends Zach and Max from Hackclub. they were just coming back from a hackathon in .. Toronto (I think ?) . We had a great time catching up about their hackathon and the PCB workshop diane and I had just run in san diego. Those guys are soooo inspiring with all they do in the ‘you ship, we ship’ programs in hackclub . We flew back toe BTV on the same plane
caught a nice sunset through the plane window as we left chicago
Zach and max were kind enough to drive me back tot h e house since I didnt have a car.. it gave us more time to talk which was fantastic !
