Friday night – heating up

I love this time of the year… Wake up it’s still cold enough to wear a coat and hat… But by mid afternoon it’s hot and dry… I think it actually went over 80° today… Actually it looks like it was 84. Here’s what our weather station has said about the last couple of days…

We are just about to make dinner when a woman showed up in our driveway… It was Kim. We had met her almost exactly a year ago just a few weeks after her son Clark had died. We saw them at the top of Bolton where we climb to celebrate sam’s birthday… Which is next Thursday.

I found a link to the day where we met. http://johncohn.org/base/2019/05/25/saturday-night-sam-and-spring/

It was really nice reconnecting with Kim and hearing how they were all doing. It’s been a year of healing for them… Which was good to hear

Nite all, nite sam

Thursday night- graduations

Pretty hard day today. Many friends affected by layoffs at my company… I understand why they have to happen. … But that doesn’t make it any easier

As I was having conversations with friends that have been impacted I heard a crazy said noises outside. It was a huge parade… A graduation parade for Richmond Elementary School. I was like the whole town has decorated their cars and we’re driving by the house. I was working in the tower so I started ringing the bell.

My day ended around 930 as I had a talk I gave it to a bunch of Vermont math students. Just as I was heading to bed Diane showed me this wonderful commencement speech that former President Obama did for all high school students.… Man what a guy. We need somebody like this to run our country again

Almost a long weekend now… Looking forward to it.

Night all, nite Sam

Wednesday night – Summer office

It’s above freezing most mornings now… So I’ve made the transition to my “summer office”…

I work in the tower of our house which is so beautiful.

I can see mountains and rivers from up there and even friends in our yard

And I have the giant wasps to keep me company

Life is good

Nite all, nite sam

Its a very weird world out there right now.. Not only are we in a pandemic.. but some folks are taking advantage of the situation to hijack Covid related research on supercomputers  and install bitcoin mining bots..
