Just back from a weekend helping max pack. h’s almost out of his apartment. I was so glad I coule get down there and hep him pack all his stuff.. like all of our family.. he’s got lots of stuff

.. lots and lots and lots of stuff

job number 1 today was clearig out his storage bin.. TA DA !

 

luckily max and becky have an old van with a handicap lift.. just the thing when you’re lifting a 200 pound case with theatric lights 

 

and there’s always room for an old jeep grill (I know this kid has my DNA !) 

 

hot day to be workign !

 

and soem wonderful treasures uncovered.. like this shirt we made for one of my dad’s birthdays’ 

 

 

by the time I left .. we had it all triaged.. .. stuff to give/throw away

 

empty boxes (victory !)

 

and sorted stuff (tools, electronics, materials, office supply.. normal stuff a maker has ) 

 

oh.. and of course a baloon sculplture of a squid riding a bicycle 

 

and ben and bridget  .. just for fun 

 

 

soemthing had to make it fin.. it was so @#$&ing hot !!  (thats 40 C for my friend s in other parts of the planet) 

 

ok.. now i’m home. its hot here.. but .. only 76.. 

which makes it like the hottest night time temperature ever.. but still 25 degrees cooler than the day

 

got home and DIane has been working like crazy on our house.. still trying to recover from the party, etc.. she’s got this place looking so nice !.. and its all while its been SO hot here..

 

i’m really so happy to see her after a week away.. .. I miss her so much when I’m not here..

 

So.. I gotta go find her !.. she’s somewhere around this huge house.  !

Greetings from a sweltering hot Brooklyn New York night. I’m down here helping Maks prep for a move out west. Like us he’s got a lot of stuff. I decided to come down and help him fresh from our major attic cleaning. It’s made me a request cleaner. They made some really good progress today. I’m glad to be able to help.

 

started the day with a steamy run around brooklyn .. it started pouring.. but I still took a run inside Pratt where max when to school

their sports team.. if they actually have one.. is called ‘the cannoneers’ .  dont remeber why 

 

 

here s the house I stayed in when I brought max back to school after sam died.. seeing it put me right back in that moment.

 

here’s maxs first dorm 

 

 

I love this campus. its os quiet and green.. right in the middle of the city

I went over to maxs place.. ‘it’s called ‘Happy robot’… but I also see it’s called Bi’et Rachel .. 

(House of Rachel ) .. many of  the signs are in hebrew or yiddish around here. 

 

You should’ve seen this this morning before we started cleaning 🙂

 

 

 

Maybe I’m the only one who can understand a box labeled “sentimental audio”

 

 

 

 

We found some really cool stuff including my father’s collection of navy daggers

 

 

here’s what it looks  like now !

 

 

 

OK… Time to get back to it.

Night all, night Sam

Today marks the 37th anniversary of my first day at IBM.. I can  still remember walking into the building .. I was wearing a blue sweater.. which seems kinda weird in early august.. Its been a long strange ride.. mostly fun.. lots  of good friends, lots of miles.. lots and lots of cool technology.. all in all a very good time..

I spent most of the day in Cambridge in meetings of one kind or another in my new role. then around 3 I headed for NYC to help Max prep for his coming move to Santa Fe. It was about a 5 hour drive.. lots of traffic. good thinking time. 

I got to Max’s around 8.. we ordered take out Thai and ate in  Becky’s back yard. 

 

 

a cople of Max’s freinds came by.. bridget, bruce.. and…. dang.. cant remember.. but really nice guy.. 

now I’m in an  airbnb .. a single room in a  mutiroom apt. Kinda icky.. but not too bad.

i’m going to try and sleep. More tomorrow
