Today is Veterans Day\u2026 Makes me really think of my dad Hugh and my father-in-law Gabe. Both served in the Armed Forces. I love these pictures of them<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are used to love hearing my dad stories of his time in the Navy. I think those were some of the most defining times of his life. I still have some of his navy uniforms\u2026 It’s fun to look at them wonder what life was like on those little shits<\/p>\n

My father-in-law Gabe served in the army\u2026 I love this picture to<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My brother-in-law Jo\u017ee just sent this great picture of Grampa gabe as a little kid<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My brother-in-law Steve was also a career guy in the army\u2026 And he still works there as a civilian\u2026 He’s a great storyteller to<\/p>\n

I want to send out my thanks to everybody who served<\/p>\n

Quick update from here\u2026 I’m in Madrid. I’ve still only got part of my voice back\u2026 But have a big talk for about 2000 people tomorrow. Wish me luck with that!<\/p>\n

I really love the city it’s been nearly 50years since I was here.<\/p>\n

It’s so beautiful and fun. The people are great. I got such a warm reception from all the IBM people here. My thanks to all the folks Elisa, Carmen, Carmen, Marta, Marta, (Lots of Carmens and Martas here) Monica, Fernando. For keeping me out of trouble today<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think event is tomorrow and I think it’s going to be really fun\u2026 As always I’m nervous about my talk\u2026 But hopefully I’ll have a chance to look around later and talk to people\u2026 That’s my favorite thing<\/p>\n

It’s fun to watch them set up<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OK\u2026 I got to get some sleep. More tomorrow.<\/p>\n

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