I&#8217;m typing on my handheld while  sitting in the back of a very big room at a meeting with about 500 other IBM folks. I need to write now because I may not have connectivity later. Sitting here really drives home what a big, big company IBM really is. It also reminds me how many smart (and nice) folks we have here.   As I said last night this is the first really public thing I&#8217;ve tried to do on my own since Sam died. So far its goin &#8216;ok&#8217;. What rally strikes me is that everyone is shaking hands with each other&#8230; But everyone is hugging me. I am amazed at the number of folks who know about Sam and have made a point so far on this first morning to seek me out to tell me how sorry they are. This is corporate love.. I feel well cared for.<br \/>  Last night was a little rough. It was the second time I&#8217;ve been alone in a hotel room since Sam&#8217;s death. The first time was when took max down  to meet with his Profs at Pratt. I woke up every two hours with wild dreams. One of my dreams was about losing Sams data..like pictures and movies. I was frantic to get and back everything up while something was loosing the days. A predictable theme..but pretty upsetting. I talked with Diane this morning. She suggested I get a one of my IBM friends to camp out with me  tonight.  Any takers ? \ud83d\ude42<br \/>Gotta run. Now. More later sam\t\t\t\t\t\t    <\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m really being bad here.
