I was on a conference call when my whole office started shaking. It was SO cool..\u00a0 I guess it was centered somewhere in Candada.. but it was plenty strong here. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a Seismometer reading soemone posted fro somewhere in Canada. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/PALLDBHZ20101740000.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"> Immediately. Facebook and Twitter just exploded .. It was amazing how quickly the discussion on the quake spread.. One freind sent me this very funny and appropriate XKCD comic about that.. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/seismic_waves.png\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">It was a great break in an otherwise quiet (but interesting) meeting.. <\/p>\n<p>I got home around 6 in time for us to meet\u00a0 Peggy. Jen and Tim for dinner.. Peggy is moving back to Ohio now that Devon has graduated. Devan will be at the niversity o fMontana.. (with several others from his MMU class). <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re really goign to miss Peggy.. she&#8217;s been a bright, kind presense in our lives these past four years.. she&#8217;s wonderful !<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/jun2310007.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">We went to the Cider House in Waterbury.. we had fried pickles.. .. which taste just like they sound.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/jun2310006.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">It was a great night.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/jun2310011.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">The real aftershock in our life.. a nice but powerful one.. was in the mail. Jen B , our friend and the Principal of MMU sent us a Diploma for Sam.. We weren&#8217;t expecting it.. it was a wonderful and heartbreaking surprise. . Jen sent us a beautiful note.. She and the rest of the staff at MMU have really been great.. <\/p>\n<p>Holding this in my hand was somehow harder for\u00a0 me than the graduation itself.. I was sitting there crying and both dogs came over to make me feel better. <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/jun2310005.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">Our lvives are full and challenging.. <br \/>I welcomdme all the emotions..Nite folks.. nite sam<\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n<p>ps here&#8217;s a birdbath that Gabe helped make at chris&#8217;s the other day.\u00a0 He&#8217;s gettign to be quite a stone artist !\u00a0 I liek having this on our sam rock in the garden. <\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun2310\/jun2310003.jpg\" \/>\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I struggle for a topic to write about .. sometimes i have so much..
