Diane, Deb and I are just back from a great music event at spruce peak performing arts . Our friend John had an art opening where he took a piano apart and displayed the pieces as art . It was super clever and fun

Lauren, Ben, Tati, newt and caleigh we’re there too which was fun

After the art we sat down to Watch the Argentinian group Che Malambo.They were such great performers… It was an interesting mix of drumming, dancing, guitar music and follow tricks. I’ve never seen anything like it they were such great performers.

Super fun doing this on a Wednesday night… Looks like snow is coming. And I have homework to do. So I’ll sign off here

Nite all, nite sam

Trumps speech yesterday was really disturbing to me ..

so much xenophobia. name calling . And devicevness

We are a country built on immigrants. We are so much stronger embracing diversity than we are isolating ourselves

We need more love and less hate in how we face the world

Night all, night sam

A funny thing happened tonight… Some friends called to tell us that they were locked out of their house. I drove over to see if I could help them out… Expected to have to break a window or something to get in… But I brought my lockpicks just in case. I learn to pick locks Welland undergraduate at MIT 40 years ago. It’s not a hard thing to learn but it’s a very hard thing to get good at. I’ve always been pretty good at it… But not great. Somehow when I need it… Skills there for me. I surprised myself and my friends by walking up to the door and on the first try flipping all five tumblers and opening the deadbolt. I don’t think I could repeat it… But it was a great alternative to breaking a window

Are used to always carry lotta pics with me… But I lost a good set to an overly zealous TSA agent…

Maybe I’ll start carrying them again…

You never know

I’m actually sitting down with friends watching the Super Bowl at our fiends Tim and Jen . They keep interrupting the commercials to show something like this

I feel like I’m pretty quick on the uptake in most things.. but I never have understood football. I liked it as a kid .. but only because it was a goOd connection with my dad .. and watching football meant under age drinking was ok.. for age 13 on wed get sandwiches and beers and watch football on tv .. it was long before cell phones .. so i actually watched .. always confused .. but that’s how much I loved me dad

Thinking of you pa.. you’d love these commercials

Nite all, nite sam
