Today was the first work day\ufffc Of the new year\u2026 And the first day of my new work arrangement with Ibm. As of today I work 75% for my Mit job and 25% doing outreach with students here in Vermont and around the world. I’m trying that as an alternative to retiring which had been my plan for the beginning of this year\ufffc. I’m really excited about putting more energy into the thing that I love doing the most\u2026 Which is getting students and other people \ufffcexcited about technology and science\ufffc<\/p>\n

It’s going to be an interesting experiment\u2026I’m trying to make sure that I don’t end up just doing 125% of what I was doing before.\ufffc<\/p>\n

I’m very excited about it\u2026!<\/p>\n

Today was a busy workday\u2026<\/p>\n

It began in an unusual way when I was walking the dogs early this morning I looked around and saw a small dog chasing us\u2026 Then I realized it was actually a fox. As soon as I turned around and ran the other way\u2026 Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture but it was a full-grown healthy Fox\u2026 It was so beautiful\u2026 And so strange to see it out in daylight. We’ve had rabid foxes around here but I think this one was healthy\ufffc<\/p>\n

I did take several hours off to go hang out with my friend Scott who’s going through chemo for pancreatic cancer. Here are his shoes\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I Have so much respect for Scott and his \ufffc with attitude about the whole thing. He and his daughter Veronica and I sat together for a couple hours\u2026 We mostly talked science stuff.<\/p>\n

Scott has always been my mentor in all things high-voltage and hands-on. He built or help me build most of the display equipment that I use for my roadshows.\ufffc\u2026<\/p>\n

As soon as he was done With the treatment today\ufffc I drove him back to his house in the north end\u2026 And we hooked up a new high-voltage generator that I had just bought.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scott and I are looking for fun stuff to do while he works his way through this crazy disease\ufffc<\/p>\n

Let’s all wish him comfort in luck!<\/p>\n

Nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
