Just back from a snowy drive home from Middlebury College where we had our file annual meeting for vase the Vermont Academy of science and engineering. It was a great evening. Started with a board meeting then a wonderful talk By astronomer David Latham from the Harvard Smithsonian observatory we talked about looking for exoplanets. Finally a very nice dinner with lots of great conversation with old friends.<\/p>\n

My friend Rich took me through their physics display cabinet and showed me this cool rocket powered sled they used to demonstrate newtons laws<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a really good crowd<\/p>\n

I got to introduce the teachers of the year awards\u2026 Snapped a selfie of Frank introducing me<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

David Latham’s talk was really good\u2026 He basically said that just about every star out there has some sort of planet around it\u2026 That’s something to think about<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s the moment where Frank step down as vice president and grace takes his place. They’re both great folks<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition to awarding the teacher of the year awards we also recognized new vase members.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The party broke up around nine\u2026 Came out to find the car covered with snow<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the way home I stopped at the Middleberry cemetery to see a crazy thing that Max had told me about. There’s a grave where a mommy is buried\u2026 It’s a long story but evidently the mummy was brought to Middlebury in the mid-19th century\u2026 And ended up in someone’s attic. It was later found in in turd in the cemetery. You can see the date as 1863 BC . You can read about it here https:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/places\/grave-of-amum-her-khepesh-ef<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OK\u2026 Having to log by phone is a little tough\u2026 I hope this comes out OK.<\/p>\n

More tomorrow<\/p>\n

Night all, night Sam<\/p>\n
