I just got home after a 32 hour trip to Fishkill <st1:state><st1:place>New York<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>. It&#8217;s so nice to be back home. It was a lonnnnng day .. These full day meetings can really tire you <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>out..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may07\/May2407001.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"> I can only still and think about one thing for so long. As my mind began to wonder and I started to fidget,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/may07\/May2407004.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"> I started thinking about how differently I tend to view people since Sam died. I was looking around the room thinking about all the people in the room.. wondering about how they were doing, how happy they were. what they were trying to get out of the meeting, what they might rather have been doing on this sunny day. I&#8217;ve always been interested in people. and been a people watcher. . it&#8217;s just that now it feels like I can &#8216;feel&#8217; how people are feeling . Sometimes I get more interested n that than in the subject of the meeting.. <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>This meeting was full of folks I really love.. so t was fun tuning into their vibe. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>The ride down and back was one of the best part of the trip. I hitched <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>a ride with my buddy Sue from work. It was a good chance for us to scheme about work.. compare notes on technical stuff, business directions, work politics, <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>and people stuff.. Sue also is tied into MMU music and lacrosse.. so we know lots of the same people in the community. Again<span style=\"\">&nbsp; <\/span>we did lots of talking about all our kids on the trip back up. I like talking about my kids..On the way down, we stopped in to day hi to Homer.. it&#8217;s my mission to make siure everyonme gets to meet Homer<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>Speaking of kids, were several of them in the house when I got home <span style=\"\">&nbsp;<\/span>around <st1:time minute=\"30\" hour=\"10\">10:30<\/st1:time> . Max&#8217;s friends Sean and Jeremy were there as was Scott. It was nice to come home to a busy house. Gabe had gotten a new haircut while I was gone.. looks good.. <span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"\">&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>My bed is looking good to me.. I only got 4 hours of sleep last night.. I started working after I finished blogging last night&#8217;s.. and next thing I knew it was after 2. Tonight I&#8217;ve got to get a good night sleep. I have a science show in <st1:city><st1:place>Burlington<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> tomorrow morning.. Should be fun !.. Right now I must get my mad scientist&#8217;s beauty sleep..
