By the middle of this week I realize that 80% of my job was turning into organizing, project managing, meeting running, etc. etc. etc. all the things I really don’t enjoy it and I’m not particularly good at. I committed the last two days of the week to actually making things. I wrote a bunch of code… (Not very good code)… And made a lot of stuff. In fact I spent the entire day soldering and wiring even as I did all of my work meetings. If anything I was a little bit more attentive than I usually am because I didn’t have a screen in front of me.
A little experiment confirmed that I am much more productive when I’m actually trying to make things than trying to organize things.… We all have our strengths 🙂

GabÉ turn 25 years old today… What an amazing kid. Super kind, super fun and super smart… He always inspires me to both work and play harder.… It’s weird not being able to see either Gabe or Maks because of Covid. We get together as often as we can on zoom. We talked to Gabe several times today… He was working really hard like he always is right now as he prepares for qualifying exams. It seem like he’s had a good day.
Since ‘Diane and I couldn’t be with him… We started the day super early with a hike up Camel’s hump. We Got on the trail around 6 AM and took a birthday picture for GabÉ at the top
We made Amazon cupcakes in GabÉ’s honor…
We fed them to our friends at our first outdoor socially distant yoga. We had about 15 people here for Yoga, dinner and then a movie on the side of the house
We got to talk to GabÉ again around 10 and gave him a zoom birthday cupcake. Max and Becky were there too which was great.. Max’s birthdays in a couple of weeks… We’re missing those boys
OK… Happy birthday Gabe. I’m super happy to be your Daddio. We love you very much
