It’s been a tough day… Not for big reasons but for lots of small reasons. I just sense again out every situation, every conversation at work etc. has this Sense of being “uphill”… It’s not that people aren’t being friendly… It’s just that you see the stress of the current situation come out in everyones decisions attitude etc. It makes perfect sense… But it still sucks

In the spirit of ” uphill”… Diane ‘Kyle and I decided to hike Bolton… We got a late start… By the time we got up there the sun it already said it was after eight but we took a really fast steep climb. It was a great way to end a difficult day

Nite all, nite Sam

It’s been a tough day… Not for any big reasons but for lots of small reasons. I just sense again out every situation, every conversation at work etc. has this Sense of being “uphill”… It’s not that people aren’t being friendly… It’s just that you see the stress of the current situation come out in everyones decisions attitude etc. It makes perfect sense… But it still sucks

That’s why it was so wonderful when after our last meeting that ended around eight Diane, Kyle and I decided to climb up Bolton for the fifth Wednesday in a row

The sun is already set by the time we started… And we took the steep way up. So it was pretty fast. A fun fast hike…

That’s the kind of uphill I needed

We had a fun surprise this morning… A couple of days ago Maks sent us a cool small 3-D printed model Of our house. Also in the box was a bag that was labeled reward… Inside it was a beautiful 3-D printed version of an angler fish.… Max wrote a note that said we would know ‘who to give it to when the time came’. We had no idea what that meant so for the last couple of days we’ve had a really cool iridescent angler fish on our kitchen counter.

This morning ‘Diane walked out and found this young woman putting a note on our back door. She was getting ready to take a picture of it. It look like this

We started talking to her and realized that she was up from Brooklyn… Visiting her parents that lived over on Nashville Road. Has she talk shit told us that she had met Maks in Brooklyn… That’s when I realized that Max was on the poster

We had fun talking and she was about to leave when all of a sudden Diane shouted “reward”!

I was confused for a second and then I remembered the angler fish. We went inside quickly and wrapped it up and gave it to her…

It turns out that Danielle and Max had met at a Halloween party where Max was a minor with a lamp and Danielle was An angler fish with a light… From there they became friends… Max learned that Danielle was coming up to Vermont to see her folks and she asked if there was anything she could do for him. Last night Max sent that poster and said go take it to my parents

She had no idea what was going on and neither did we. So it was really fun putting it all together.

Max… You are such a crazy creative person. Thanks for brightening all of our days .we love you !
