Slow day here . Mostly stayed in .. it was -8F this morning and –9 when we got home just now. I really love it when it’s cold like this. Especially when it’s bright and sunny like it is now . We did get out for a ski.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sunshine is really amazing this time of year . It adds sparkle to everything<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I worked on the flame thrower a bit today then it was time to head I. To town. We met Hannah and Deb and had a great meal at Butch and Babes . Mac and chews pancakes and general tsao’s cauliflower. Yum<\/p>\n

Final destination tonight was arts riot for a tribute and fund raiser for our good friends Hannah and Dave at talent skate park. Talent closed a while ago When they lost their lease. They’re hoping to Re-open somewhere soon.. When they reopen they will be a nonprofit collective.Tonight was a fundraiser to support that.<\/p>\n

We are so happy to support talent\u2026 Our kids\u2026 Especially Sam and Gabe\u2026 Grew up there. They loved riding the skate park there. They love the gear, they love the people. We all did too. After Sam died,We had several benefits for the Sam Cohn foundation there .<\/p>\n

Tonight arts riot was packed. We saw so many people there we knew both up on stage and in the audience. Many families who felt like talent was part of their extended family like we did<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Hannah was wonderful and in the middle of everything<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well the bands play they had video clips from The 17 years that talent was open. Lots of kids we knew.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first band we saw was Swayle<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The second band was rough Frances. With our friends the hackneys playing multiple instruments. They were so good. Their Centerpiece is our good friend urion. He used to play with Sam\u2026 And eventually took Sam’s place in the dark Knight vengeance band after Sam died. Urion spent many hours Practicing here at the house. He such a fine man now\u2026 With a two-year-old daughter and is an excellent musician. Tomorrow he takes off for a 20 day tour of Asia where the band is opening for slayer and Judas Priest all over the Asia-Pacific region. We are so proud of him<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The rest of the band was fantastic too<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was even in mosh pit !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I saw the sticker in the bathroom\u2026 It did not describe the night \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a great evening\u2026 Just got home and I’m waiting for the fire to come up to eat before I can close it down for the night.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow it’ll be cold again\u2026 Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

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