Fun day !.. Woke early and did a fast hike up Duxbury Window.. It’s one of our new favorites. a 3.2 mile total out and back with a variety of terrain.. some steep, some flat.. kind of shady but beautiful. We know it so well we can run walk it.

Work today was cool.. we had a middle school group come in which is always fun. We’re spending more time using these tours with kids to understand how to improve out tours. It’s interesting to try to see things through the students eyes. .

Later that evening I had another chance to do that wit our young friend Finn asked for a tour. after eating sushi with us.. . It was really fun taking him through because I could ask him about what he wanted to know and what we needed to explain better.   He’s such a great kid

got home and put in a long night working out the electronics for a “magic heart” for an upcoming show at the flynn..   Haven’t worked with EL wire in a while. it’s weird stuff !

Long fun day !

Tonight was pretty special/ Our burner friend Andrew and his wife Sarah are still in town for a couple of days They invited a bunch of us over to the cabin they’re renting in Stowe  from our friends Newt and Caileigh . A bunch of our burning man crew came  to carve pumpkins and share a meal It was so much fun seeing all the approaches. We had pumpkins that opened traditionally from the top, from the bottom and from the pack. The stakes were huge as there were prizes for the best !

 

 

we had a great meal and got to talk pretty late into the evening.. So nice to bond around the pumpkins.. 

I cant even remember who won the carving contest !

I’d really been looking forward to ths day. It was our 3rd group meetign out at the clarks. We’re discussing company culture and there’s no better place for that kind of discussion.   Katie and kyle are wonderful leaders and wonderful hosts. ..   I felt very grateful to the clarks and to our coworkers for showing up to talk. 

I truly love these  people and the energy they bring to this company..

Ssarted the day with a very quick hike up to duxbury window

 

Then a really nice visit to our friend Cara )aka Coco) and her husband Tom’s wonderful house up on camels hump road. I know Coco from burning, but I’ve never met Tom. It was really wonderful meeting tom and seeing their place.  They have a warm and cozy place that sits in a small gorge next to the small creek that runs along camels hump road. It’s got great waterfalls and swimming holes and a constant burble of running water. Their dog Hoss couldnt ask for a better place to hang out. 
Tom is a play therapist and a fascinating and kind person.. the four of us hung out talking about play,  religion and The Colony which both coco and tom managed to watch.. It was so fun and relaxing.

 

Later on in the day our friend Sammie V and her husband Souli and their 4 kids came by to say hi. They all live east of the bay area in California. Theire back seeing Sammies mom  Barb and her parter Jim.. Sammie used to babysiit our kids now she’s got 4 of her own !.   We had so mich fun hanging out  with their kids.. Their son Sam was really in to sceince so we had fun playing with the van der graf and tesla coils..    It was gerat catching up with Sammie and Soulie …
