I woke up thinking about work for the first time that I can remember in more than a year.&nbsp; It was a strange feeling.&nbsp; I generally wake up thinking about Sam every morning. It wasn&#8217;t that I wasn&#8217;t thinking about Sam.. &nbsp; It was just that I wasn&#8217;t only thinking about him.. I wasn&#8217;t sure how to feel. I&#8217;ve learned not to think to much about how I&#8217;m supposed to feel when something like that happens. It doesn&#8217;t help<\/p>\n<p>For some reason I was able to concentrate today better than most. I got on the phone at 8AM and and really didn&#8217;t look up until just before 2. I got a ton of stuff done . I had a meeting at work at 2.. then worked until about 6:30 there.. From there I hurried over to the Inn at Essex for a board meeting of VoMIT (Vermont&#8217;s Own M. I. T. club.)&nbsp; I love that acronym and I love these meetings. They are always gloriously wide ranging and disorganized, but somehow we manage to attend to all business I love the people I know from MIT. they&#8217;re all so quirky and funny. <br \/>Here is the VoMIT board: Jim. Laura, Jeff and Michelle. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008001.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008002.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008009.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">We had a great meeting.. We were trying to figure out something fun and meaningful for our alumni club to do. One idea was to hold a &#8216;hack fest&#8217;. MIT is known for harmless high-tech pranks. Our idea is to create some sort of big high-tech prank&nbsp; that somehow raises money for a Vermont charity. I know it sounds like a weird idea.. but I&#8217;m sure we can come up with something. Any ideas\/.suggestions welcome.. you don&#8217;t even have to be from MIT to play. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">The board meeting was over at 8.. Diane was up at the mountain teaching Yoga and Gabe was boarding (I think).. so I decided to stop and see Hannah and Daves&#8217; new baby, Senyah, on the way home. I called Hannah and found out that she was at her folks house in Williston. I did a quick visit there to see &#8230; and hold.. new baby Senyah.. She&#8217;s so beutiful <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008020.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008014.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008023.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">As is her big sister Adah<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jan1008\/Jan1008015.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I got home to find out that everyone was home.. and watchign a scary moview (Alien III) in Sam&#8217;s room .
