We had a great visit today from my friend Ben , his wife Lisa and his son Leon. , OK.. so thats really Ben Huh.. .. rhymes with ‘d-uh’ ., not with ‘shoe’.. I realize i’ve always gotten that wrong. 

Ben is an old freind from the MIT-IBM Lab. He’s a very smart and creative thinker. I’ve always enjoyed hanging out with him. It was my first time meeting Lisa and Leon.. Leon is 3 years old and super cute.. his name Leon is Noel spelled backwards whcih is (im told) Korean for ‘Play’.. Ben says I had soemthing to do with that choice, whihc is really cool. 

Theyt are a beutiful family. We got toys out and watched Leon line them up in perfect matrices. he’s goign to be a mathematican like his dad.   Lisa is lovely. She does communications for the Dental School at Harvard. it was interesting talkign to her abotu the crazy state of affairs there. 

We  all had lots of fun durign their visit. 

Super nice visit !

Busy day aroudn the house. Diane is on a mission to get her whole garden in befor3 we head out for Gabes graduation. We dug, mulched, mowed, weed wacked and  fertalized, .. all under Diane”s expert gardeners eye

one of the main accomplishments was to find the perfect O-ring to keep our mower gas cap from falling off.. we’d been using rubber bands.. but they quickly fall apart when exposed to gasoline.. I  found the perfect replacement neopring oring at the hardware store..   It was nice to celibrate a small victory like that 

Speakig of Rings.. I had an unexpected and welcome call from my old freind John S.. I should now say .. Dr. John S. He finished his PhD at Columbia last year.. john and I did many projects together.. the pumpkin king, the eel, stampo..   It had been more than a year that we had talked.. 

He’s got a startup now based on his PhD research.. and has a great long tiem girlfreind..  he talked about coming up for a visit soemtime this summer. 

So nice to be back in touch !

We had a nice, uneventful drive home.. its nice time togegther in the car liek that. We made one great stop at  a garden nursery down in Addison county. It’s called ‘Between the Weeds’ .. and its aptly named.. the plants are scattered among greenhouses that could use a little repair.. and the grounds are covered in lplong grasses. but the plants are beutiful and healthy.. 

it’s always a favorite stop ..
