Today's been a tough day. Tomorrow is my dad's memorial and it's all I can think about. His obituary<\/a> came out today in the Boston Globe. Very short and to the point.. It was very weird seeing it on the screen. More proof that he's really gone.<\/p>\n

I tried to get some work done today but not with my heart in it. I did have some really good conversations with good friends today which really helped.<\/p>\n

One really nice thing that happened was when I came home this morning and should be a box that had somehow come to the house in the night. It Was a plain cardboard box inside was a beautiful wooden contraption. With leather corners, brass fittings, switches, and lights. Here's what it look like.<\/p>\n

When You flip the switches, the lights turned on like this.<\/p>\n

If you look through the lens this is what you see<\/p>\n

It was a fun message and challenge from my good friend Colin and his dad. Perfect timing. I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate this especially now. Especially when I learned that Collin finished it last night and dropped it at our house at 4 AM. That's an amazing friend!<\/p>\n

Okay got asleep leaving early.
Night all, night sam<\/p>\n
