saturday night – five naps

came home on the red eye this morning.. got some sleep but not enough.. managed to fall asleep no fear than 5 times throughout the rest of the day.. five nap day.. not too bad..

 

pretty low key day.. one of the first things I noted  this morning when I got home was that we have  a ‘Spock’ magnet on our fridge .. i have to mark the passing of Leonard Nimoy.. every geeks favorite logician.. ‘live long and prosper’ man !

 

 

job one this morning was to go retrieve the Subaru.. The car had gotten  stuck last night in a snow bank up old stage. this morning diane, max and I went up there with a propylene rope and towed it out with the other car.. .. saved us on waiting for and paying for a tow.. felt good to be able to do it ourselves.

 

 

the rest of the day was small bursts of activity punctuated by naps in front of the fire, on the couch, in the snow, etc.. as I said.. 5 of them !

 

This evening we had a small pizza party where the seven of us used every possible ingredient in the house to make pizzas.. (dates. apples, artichokes, capers, pesto.. yum !)

after dinner a bunch of us went out and seeded in the bright moonlight. it was 7 degrees ABOVE zero, which felt like a heat wave !

now struggling to stay awake.. gonna have to stop here and sleep..

more tomorrow

Thursday night – at rafes

In the guestroom at my friend Rafe and families. Got here around 9 PM which gave me only about a half an hour to see his beautiful kids and beautiful wife and beautiful in-laws… All beautiful. It's been a nice short visit. Period I'm sure they're wondering why am talking to myself… That's one funny thingabout using voice dictation for this blog… I must sound like a lunatic.

I got to spend a few hours catching up with Rafe. It's been far too long since we've been able to do that. He's one of my oldest and dearest friends. I love listening to him talk about his work in math. I feel myself getting smarter when I'm sitting next to him.

Okay… Got to get up really early tomorrow so I'll interior. More tomorrow.

Night night sam

Wednesday night – friends everywhere !

Good day today both technically and personally. I ran into SO many friends.. as I walked around today.. it filled my heart !

 

 

the big treat tonight was a concert by Aerosmith.. yes THE aerosmith.. What does that say that our company can rent a band like that. I was never much into their music as a kid.. intact last time I saw them was 37 years ago !!!!.   but tonight they were awesome. The sounded great.. and they looked great.. Steve Tyler is 66 years old.. and looks like he always has..

pretty incredible !!!!
