Today was packed with stuff.. good stuff. tough stuff.. just stuff.. It began with a 7L30-8:30 board meeting at the ECHO\u00a0 museum downtown. I love these discussions <\/div>\n


<\/p>\n
FOllowed by a completely busy and somewhat frustrating day at work. I was in meetigns every minute of the day.. but I’m not sure I made forward progress… <\/p>\n

At 5:30 I drove back to Burlington to give te opening talk at the Supper and Science\u00a0 program for my friends Nancy and Moe.\u00a0\u00a0 It was at Burlignton Hugh school.. where max did his video work.\u00a0\u00a0 First moment in the door I met this guy.. wo’s last nme is ‘sparks’ isn’t THAT cool ?!?!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The school was incredibly multicultural for a program in VT. All the signs were in at least English, Vietnamese and Serbo-Croate. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a good dinner of chili…<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Then we went upstairs to Moe’s place for my presentation…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Max spent many happy hours up here !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The audeince was a great group of kids from king street center.. many of them from somalia, others from congo or bosnia.. a really, really cool bunch of kids. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think they liked my talk on the colony.. they’d all watched parts of the show and were full of questions.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I got out of there after 8.. then went to meet soem friends in town for a meeting. some of these guys used to be in IBM.. but are now workign for a partner company.. .. Here’s my friend Vivek<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

and my friend Brion.. Brion’s 21 year old son Andrew died just 3 weeks ago. I was surprised and happy that he made the trip. We talked for a couple of hours.. he’s doing amazingfly well.. he seems to be in touch with his feelings and is coping remarkably.\u00a0 Talkign to him took me right back to Sam’s passing..
Still. i was happy to be there for him. <\/p>\n

He and I made a deal to talk frequently for the next several months. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

OK.. I’m too tired to write more.. more tomorrow.. Nite everyone.. nite Sam
