I got an early start today.. I had an early-for-me 8AM<\/st1:time> meeting.. so I went out for a run around 6:30<\/st1:time>. I noticed the ferns along the river shore trail had grown about 6 inches since yesterday. The woods are exploding with life. I could help but be lifted by it As always, I stopped at my midway point to say ‘hi’ to Sam and draw his name in the mud.. Today I found a cute slug on the ground that kindly offered to form the crossbar on the letter ‘A’ in Sam’s name\u2026   <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>Chai and I ran back to the beach where the Huntington<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> meets the Winooski. . That’s  <\/span>where I usually do a little yoga stretching before going home. .. It was hot this morning, summer hot. (I stop functioning over 60 degrees).. so I was pretty  <\/span>miserable by the time I turned around to go back home.  <\/span>Chai dove right into the Huntington<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.. it looked like fun.. so I did too. I splashed across the river.. I got halfway across before I started to loose the feeling in my toes.. it was wonderfully cold. I though of how many times we’d come down here with the boys to splash around.. Sam, Gabe and I tubed down the Huntington<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> from the gorge last summer.. it was a hoot\u2026<\/p>\n

   <\/span>I got to work by 8 to help start the last day of the three day meeting I’ve been attending.. it was a relatively quite close to a pretty exciting set of technical discussions. I found the meetings really ejuvenating.. I think we figured out some good  <\/span>stuff. I certainly learned a bunch and I really, really enjoyed working with this group of people.   <\/span>.. I think we mapped out a way to keep working together for the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>I got home around 6 just in  <\/span>time to catch men’s yoga with Diane.. she teaches a men’s yoga class on Thursdays now\u2026 she takes it much easier on us flexibly challenged folks than she does in her normal Monday afternoon class.. only 2 downward dogs tonight.. thank goodness.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>I came into the house after yoga to find a beautiful surprise. Our good friend Coco<\/st1:place> had sent us a painting she’d done from a picture of Sam.   <\/span>The picture is of Sam as ‘Wonderboy’ in a skit at camp<\/st1:placetype> Abenaki<\/st1:placename><\/st1:place> last summer. I love the picture\u2026. The painting is beautiful.. here’s a view of it and the original picture.. amazing.. I cried when I saw it..<\/p>\n

Here’s the original photo<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   <\/span>The four of us had a nice quiet dinner\u2026 which doesn’t  <\/span>happen very often.. it’s unusual to just have us in the house. After dinner Diane ushered me into the mudroom to show me  <\/span>the latest home improvement.. evindently the chewing sound I’vc been hearing the last few nights has been a rat wth redecorating ideas.. here’s the nice picture window he\/she has gnawed in the floor.. Note the poor thing had to chew through the carpet to do this. Now that’s industrious..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   <\/span>I, on the other hand, am not feeling the least bit industrious.. I’m going to bed.. what do you think of that, Sam ? <\/p>\n
