Got to Ruchir’s last night and got to bed by one slept great woke up and went to headquarters. Had a very important and very short meeting that went pretty well… And then spent the day working in corporate headquarters. I actually love that place… I know so many of the people there. I wear my Santa hat which I think is just with the place needed

Stopped at Yorktown on the way to Boston to take in our area Christmas party. Ran into a bazillion people that I knew and had to talk to.

It’s always kind of cool going to Yorktown. I remember the first time I ever went there… I couldn’t believe I was among all the smart people…. I felt honored to be there…

I still do

Had kind of a mix of the day… We got up for a very nice ski with John and Lauren

Then my friend Josh came by on his way from Montreal down to Burlington. I was able to meet is very nice girlfriend ali

The mixed part of the day was I tried to repair Diane’s phone… Got it almost entirely working and then manage to break it when I tried to fix the rest of it. I’ve tried taking it apart about five different times and I have to give up. I’m really sad because it’s an older phone but she has A really cool case for it that would like to keep… I have to work on that.

I’m exhausted got to sleep

Night All,night Sam

Nice snowy day this morning. Finally really winter. Below zero Fahrenheit for the first time this year

Got the dogs out for a walk along the river . Felt great to see the sun. Went from there to by an Xmas tree . Nice to have it in the house

Around 5 folks started showing up for Puckett’s memorial dinner. It’s been 3 years since he died .. It’s so nice all getting together to think of him. Puckett was a good friend of ours. He was in a band with Sam and was a great musician and loved science

It was a really nice group of people… Two babies in the group now lots of good stories. Lots of good food… Diane made Latkes

We left the party about 2 1/2 hours in to go to another lucky party… This one was it bands… I love this party because it’s the biggest collection of my remark friends that I go to. It was tons of great food and drink… But I was so full I didn’t have any. I spent the time catching up with old friends and meeting a few new

people that were awesome

Hanukkah candles were lit and shining bright

And people were enjoying each other and Ben’s crazy House

Someone had a very good idea to catch a picture of all of our burning man crew who were at the party…

Looks like we were closing down the party .. !

We headed back home at the party that was at our house was still winding down… It was nice to be able to say goodbye the folks..

Man am I full and sleepy… More tomorrow. It’s going to be a tiny bit warmer

night all , night Sam
