Fall colors are finally happening. somethjign like 2-3 weeks late ! . Diane and I took a quick hike up Libby’s look to take it all in. 

 

 

tonight we went to Arron and Soshi’s house. They were having a secular Shabbat dinner… Lots of my jewish friends are very worried about Israel ..  It was good to come together and talk 

 

we got to hear Arron and Sosh’s origin story which is pretty great. THey met in elementary school in a small town in Jersey.. and have been orbiting each other ever since.

Max and Becky left the house at 4:30 this morning to catch an early plane. Its been such a great visit. !  The marriage week worked out just like they had imagined it. We all felt deeply happy and satisfied

Max left me a token peanut butter cup( my fave) as a parting gift

 

George and Doreen also headed out today.. they came by around 7 to say goodbye. It’s been so good having them. I like that they are family now

Now it’s back to work..

Today  George, Doreen , Diane and I headed down to Shelburne. First stop was Douglas Sweets to see Deb, Hannah and Brit..(who’s here visiting from Portugal !)   I’m always amazed at what Deb and Hannah have built there !

 

While we were down that way, we  stopped in at Earthkeep to check in on fluffy and retrieve  my camping gear and some of the electronics components for cleaning. It was fun showing fluffy to George and Doreen. George is a burner.. we actually met on the playa in 2016. !

We  made a quick stop at Shelburne farms.. tried the bakery.. but they were out of bread ! No worries.. it’s such a beautiful place to visit !

Around 4 I headed down to Middlebury for the VASE annul meeting . One of my favorite nerd fests of the year. It began with a great talk by my freind Josh B. He talked about AI designed nanobots. He’s gotten lots of press for this work. It was interesting to see what was under the covers. 

 

We named a new teacher of the year.. and inducted some new members. These events are fun because I get to meet with such a cross section of people. 

 

I left thre and drove as quick as I could to higherground. Diane, Max and Becky were at a Victor Wootan show there. Beckys parents had come but left by the time I got there. I got there late.. but enjoyed what I saw ! Victor is an amazing bassist. he plays with his whole family. 

 

 

We got back home late.. in time for max and becky to eat the last of the marriage carrot cake. I

 

I guess thats a wrap !
