<\/p>\n
I’m writing tonight from Palo Alto California. I’m out here with Max to go see Makerfaire<\/a>
a huge celebration of making things. Max met me at 7AM this mornign at JFK. It was so good to see Max..He’s living in Brooklyn this summer and \u00a0 I hadn’t seen him since I’ve gotten back from The Colony..We flew cross country to San Fransisco then hopped Caltrain down to Palo Alto where our friend Laurance met us with a car we could use.. Laurence and her husband Rafe are very dear friends of mine\/. Rafe was my suite mate at MIT\u00a0 some 31 years ago .. (OMG !) Max and I will be staying with them for the two days we’re out here.
\u00a0\u00a0 Max and I dropped Larance at home then went out in search of food.. we grabbed soem veggie sushi downtown which was a treat..<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

then we headed up to the Stanford radio telescope park and foudn a<\/p>\n

place to lie down in the shade. Both of us were runnign on very little<\/p>\n

sleep. I was out in seconds.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The teelscope itself was looming back in the distance.. It’s quite pretty, actually… <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which is more than I can say for my big toe.. posing here wiht the Standord University clock tower. I always love Stanford.. I got in here for graduate school out decided t go to CMU instead.. it worked out great in pittsburgh.. but it’s always fun to wonder what it would have been lile living here. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Around 5 we headed the short distance back to Rafe and Laurance’s new house. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It was the first tie I’d met their new baby Sophie who’s now 1 and a half… <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

and only the second time I’ve seen Sabine who’s 4 and a half..\u00a0\u00a0 Sabine and I made a lady out of broken cornn chips..\u00a0\u00a0 yum !<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We went out and got some chineese take out .. then sat around and talked ’till we all nearly fell asleep on the floor.. OK.. truth be told.. only I fell asleep on the floor.\u00a0 It’ sreally wonderful to be out here with Max.. and with Rafe and his family…<\/p>\n

My leasson for the day came from the beer we were drinking.. the label says “Einfach Leben”.. or “live Simply”.. What good advice.. do I think I can ever get my life to ‘simple’ > I’m trying I think
OK.. nite everyone. Nite Sam !
