when our son Max was very young\u2026 He went to a preschool where every time a kid left the school for any reason they called it the “happy last day”\u2026 A little bit of a rhetorical trick to turning otherwise bitter sweet event into a happy one<\/p>\n

Today was my “happy last day” at Ibm. Truly it is been an amazing trip. I am really touched by all the letters and emails and texts I’ve gotten from people\u2026Even though I’ll actually be back as a part-time might be in employee in a few weeks\u2026<\/p>\n

‘Diane came back from Boot Camp this morning and brought homemade Whoopie pies that one of her friends have made\u2026 He sent one home for me for my houses last day\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have to say it was a pretty funny feeling when I finished my last meeting at five\u2026 It was with some of my favorite people some of the other Ibm fellows. They gave me a nice sendoff\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And I immediately ran upstairs and rang the bell\u2026\ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/65472879381__8a4f7629-72d3-4811-917b-a49ba7859e8c.mov<\/a>\n

It seemed like the thing to do :-)\ufffc<\/p>\n

thanks To everyone who reached out to me in the last couple of days\u2026 It means so much to me. I miss you all but I’ll be back part time in two weeks\ufffc<\/p>\n

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