Monday night (delayed) – busy beaver

One of our few chances to go outside these days is to go for a run. We’ve been trying to mix it up by running Duxbury, Doug way in the river sure. River sure has been pretty interesting because there’s huge amount of beaver activity. We’ve been watching as a beaver… Or a group of beavers… Take down a lot of small trees… Mostly sumacs by the way Nuesky. It’s amazing how quickly they can cut through a tree. We were marveling today at the giant chunks of wood but they’re able to get off and what appears to be one bite.… It’s fun looking At the stumps

This one looks like a guy being held up

One of our neighbor spotted a large beaver just on the Huntington we are Road crosses. He (or She)… Was moving some big logs

I wish I was feeling as industrious and ambitious as these guys

Stay safe everyone

Nite all, nite sam

Saturday night – Grand Central Station

I have to admit I’m getting a little stir crazy… It’s two weeks we’ve spent in the house. Luckily I’m surrounded by wonderful people here……

I got a new New Yorker magazine today… I noticed the cover. It was a beautiful painting of the great Hall at Grand Central Station. The light was streaming in and there was a guy mopping the floor… No one else. I was puzzled by the picture… Then I realized locked in their homes right now. I bet it looks like that. It was a striking image for one of the busiest places on earth.

It reminded me of the day several years ago where I was filming an IBM commercial in that very room. I had to stand there for about three hours in the making of the movie and I swear I must’ve seen 10,000 people. It was kind of an eerie juxtaposition Of memory

Stay safe and sane everybody

Nite all, nite Sam

Friday night – dinner ninjas

Donno about you but we’re working hard to keep things interesting while we’re in lock down . We end up finding spontaneous themes for things like dinner . Tonight it was ninjas .. Kyle and I both wore our bathrobes to homemade pizza dinner . Diane and hunter chose to come as civilians.

Late afternoon Diane and I snuck out for a hike up the lower quad at bolton. The snow is getting patchy .. but still a great climb. Satori came with us while Chai hung out at home

So glad to have that space around us during these house bound days

Speaking of housebound here’s a nice shadow of our house

Now off to watch episode 2 of Star Wars

Nite all, nite sam
