diane and I got To Boston around 9 PM last night.\u2026 We took a nice walk around cambridge\u2026 And then went back to the hotel . It felt nice to be down in Cambridge again.\u2026 We woke up early and went for a run along the Charles. It was one of my favorite things to do when I was working down here. We ran back through Mit campus which was fun. It’s amazing to think I’ve been walking around on this campus for over 44 years\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

we went back cleaned up checked out of the hotel and then walk over to the Prudential. My boss and a few of my close colleagues we’re having a really nice retirement lunch for ‘Diane and me. It was really wonderful\u2026 We had a good time\u2026 Felt good to I’ll be back face-to-face\ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

as soon as lunch was over we drove over to the Trillium bar down by the support for the annual lab Christmas\/winter celebration.\u2026 We had a great crowd of people\u2026 I think they might’ve actually been 60 people there. I was really surprised to find that they had done some really nice things in honor of my retirement.\ufffc there was this wonderful “Yoda” cake\u2026 It had Yoda, our group icon which is a parrot\u2026 And a ton of science decorations around the side test tubes Adams etc. it was so cute (and tasty too!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They also had a special beer menu Which included a “mad scientist” beer in honor of me\u2026 It was even a Munich beer. Super fun and super \ufffc Tasty\u2026 I was really choked up that they had Turn all this for me\ufffc.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was so nice also catching up with so many of my colleagues\ufffc. Everyone looks great\u2026 Many of us have never met each other\u2026Face-to-face due to Covid. It was really a wonderful afternoon\ufffc !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There were a few speeches were each of their group leaders got up and told about their stories. David made a special point of congratulating me for my 40 years and pseudo- retirement. He said some really nice things\u2026Which I truly appreciate it\u2026 It also felt a little funny being the center of attention\ufffc.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then we cut the cake and eat it\u2026 It was really pretty tasty I even got the eye\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Around 4 o’clock it was time to go\u2026 ‘Diane and I Uber back gotten our car and drove back to Vermont. It’s been a quick trip but it felt good. I really appreciate my friends David, Mark, Kate, and Jesse for arranging this\u2026 And I really appreciate it Diane for coming along..<\/p>\n
