Hello from Endicott NY.. Diane, Gabe and I just drove down to visit my inlaws. Max is coming in tomorrow.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It’s warm and welcoming here.. There’s always a new shock when we get here.. and I feel Sam not being with us.<\/p>\n

I had another busy. busy day. The highpoint was a Jolts and Volts show at Underhill Central School. No matter how many big talks or TV\u00a0 things I do.. nothing feels as good as volunteering in a classroom.<\/p>\n

The kids at this school have seen me do this every year.. but somehow they still like seeing the same old show..<\/p>\n

Here’s the response to my question “who’s a nerd”\u00a0 ? nice !
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Here’s a sampling of van de graaf results\"\"<\/p>\n

At the end of the show the kids all jumped up and tried to hug me.. to my great surprise and (I think) the teachers horror. It was great !\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the nerd theme.. we all listened to a whole season a a show called ‘Big Bang tehory’ in the car on the way down. I can’t tell you how many folks have asked me if I loved this show.. Well.. I gotta tell you .. I don’t love it.. i don’t even like it. The science they superficially work in is all (surprisingly) accurate. unfortunately, the characters social cluelessness just propogates a really innaccurate and dated sterotype..\u00a0\u00a0 And the laugh track makes it that much worse.<\/p>\n

The fact that so many folks think I’d like the show makes me realize whow nerdy I must seem to people..<\/p>\n

I’m not that kind of nerd..<\/p>\n

ok.. more from endicott tomorrow..<\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
