Super busy day… I feel like I accomplished some stuff today which is kind of unusual. I did break for lunch and have a great picnic with my friend Tim down there his work on the Winooski

Wednesdays is usually is it the day that we climb Bolton mountain but it was raining today… So we opted to take a fast hike up to Huntington gorge to see the work they’re doing to repair the road. It’s been closed for over a year… It was a beautiful walk in the rain… Very Misty and mystical
They’re making good progress trying to put the road back in but honestly I don’t know what’s going to keep that road from washing out again…
Well it’ll be nice to have that Way Road back open… It was awfully nice being able to run or walk on it without seeing any cars
It has been crazy cold here the last few days… This morning we woke up To find our friendly crow fountain clogged with ice… It was kind of cool to see… So I’m not sure how much I like seeing ice at the end of April
… And I guess Hal really did freeze over today… The announcement came at 1o’clock at burning man just canceled for the second year running because of the pandemic.
It was a strange way to announce the event… They talked about how excited they were to plan for 2022… Took me a couple of seconds to realize what they had just said…
Honestly I think it was the right idea… They were discussing requiring vaccination proof… They were going to ban travelers from certain countries… At some point it’s just not the same event.
Freezing day today… Literally. It didn’t get above freezing until mid morning. We had a fire going and we were all bundled up in coats and hats… It doesn’t feel like late April
Tonight the three of us made empanadas… With homemade chimichurra. The perfect Warm-up meal
Heard a very cool story on Friday… My friend Rodney M is a I’m skateboarding legend… I got to know him through a strange work Connection. He ended up starting an MIT fellowship at the media lab. We got to hang out several times which was truly fun. His girlfriend Lori is amazing… She works on movies as a hairstylist and told us about a movie that she was helping make in Boston… This is all pre-Covid. I had given her a Sam stone and she told me she was going to try to find a way of getting the same stone into the movie she was working on.… On Friday I heard from Rodney that she’s been successful. The movie is called “I care a lot”… And it’s on Netflix. Just a few minutes into the movie you see a samstone on the desk of one of the main characters who evidently has been renamed to match the stone as “Sam”…
Lori and Rodney. .. You are doing… This is such a cool story. Thanks for getting our sam some good air time
