I woke up after a restless night… I keep thinking of my friend Scott who is in hospice right now
I actually went back to sleep for two hours this morning to kind of reset my day. We worked around the house most of the day… Our biggest accomplishment was creating netting around her blueberries
I had talk this afternoon And high school students which went pretty well… Then we went over to Ben and Tatiana’s for their annual Ligo party. Nico is the black van solstice celebration. There were a lot of people over there with flowers in their hair. It was nice low-key great seeing all our friends
I didn’t blog last night because I didn’t know how to reconcile the day I had. It started on a very tough note. My dear friend Scott entered hospice care on Thursday night. He’s in the last stages of pancreatic cancer. I was able to spend 2 1/2 hours with him in the morning at the hospice… It’s such a beautiful and calm place compared to the hospital. It was really nice being able to hang out. And Scott is my closest nerd friend . We met over 30 years ago… And he’s help me build the equipment I use to get kids jazzed about science. I learned so much from him… And I will miss him so very much…we’ve been working together to try to find home all of his amazing science gear that he’s collected over the years. We think we found good homes for most of it. It feels good to have something to do together. Scott seems to be a piece now… He’s such a remarkable guy
I hope to be able to go and see Scott again a couple of times this week… But at this point none of us know…
Am I I can’t even bring myself to say it
Anyway. Please send your love and thoughts to Scott and his family 
And the paradox of course is that life continues to go on outside. ‘Diane and I agreed two giveaway popcorn and snowcone Chris and Kim’s Cirque du Fuego Show last night… I have to admit my heart wasn’t really into it because I was thinking of Scott… But the show must go on
It was a great event… And ultimately I was glad to be there…
I’ve learned over the years that You can be sad and happy at the same time
Max Is 33 years old today… Hard to believe. He is such a fine and awesome person… Super creative… Super funny and super loving. We just got off the phone with Max and Becky and Gabe. We’ve been having so much fun looking through old videos and pictures. It’s amazing how many of those pictures and movies are of Max making things… He is the most awesome maker I have ever met
I am so proud to be his papa !
Happy birthday my son… I love you so very much. It’s not often that you get to help make your very own best friend 🙂
