<\/p>\n
I woke this morning with no idea where I was.  I was looking at a crib when it came back to me that I was still at my freinds Ruchir and Rashi’s house in NY. I find that it takes me much longer to come to my senses every morning when I wake up.. It always takes me a couple of minutes to sort through what;s real and what’s not in this new reality. I often have vivid dreams with Sam in them .. and every mornign have to let go a little again… <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I got up, showered, dressed and said a quick good bye to Ruchir. He’s such a great host and such a good freind… He even fixed me a little aloo gobi pratha sadnwich for the road..   I had to get on the road by 8 in order to make a meeting in Burlington…
   The drive back was peaceful and uneventful.. I spent most of it on the phone in work calls.  Just before White River I was talkign on the phoen when I saw one of the most beutiful rainbow’s I’ve ever seen in the sky. it was incredibly bright and incredibly close. I almost ran off the road.. It looked close enough to touch.. I had the sense that I was driving through it. I did my best to get a picture from the car.. Pictures of rainbows never do them justice.. but this one was really amazing… <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n


Here’s my attempt to get the whole thing in a picture from a moving car.. note it had faded by this point<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just as I was takign these pictures my phone rang.. but I was on a call so I couldn’t answer.. when I checked my messages 15 minutes later I found out that it was my buddy Homer calling to tell me that he<\/span> was lookign at an incredibly bright rainbow in the field across from his house.. and it looked so close that he<\/span> could touch it.   That may not seem so odd.. but he was in Monkton and I was in Windsor..  Hours of driving apart… <\/p>\n

I called Homer back and told him of the time that Sam and I were driving on route 2 near Richmond.. We saw a really beutiful rainbow.. Sam said.. “Dad.. can we find the gold pot ? “.. he’d heard the legend of the pot of gold at the edge of the rainbow.. I started doing my scientist dad thing and began explaining the water droplets and refraction and how you could never…..     then I stopped myself and said… ‘why not ?’   We sped up and zoomed down route 2 and followed the rainbow most of the way up Bolton mountain road before it dissapeared..<\/div>\n

I felt the whole incident was trying to tell me something.. but what ?! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oy….<\/div>\n
On the topic of Rainbows. our dear good friend , and guru Tim K wrote a poem about\/for Sam and gave it to us last week. It really captures Sam’s spirit.. the shock of his passing, and the path we’ve walked since.   I think it’s amazing..  <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

By the way.. the background is a picture of the double rainbow that appeared over our house a few days after Sam’s passing. Tim is one of the many folks who got pictures of it.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now.. Love you guys.. love you Sam
