\t\t\t\t\t\t I’m in a hotel room somewhere in westchester county. My buddy Steve and I drove down this afternoon for a meeting in Yorktown tomorrow. It was great talking to Steve.. a great guy, very thoughtful, good talker, good listener.. We got here about 9-ish in time to meet some of the folks from UVM we’ll be meeting with tomorrow.. We spent another hour talking with them.. then Steve and I went out and grabbed a late dinner… more talking\u00a0 The conversations have\u00a0 been great all day.. ..The thing is, though.. I keep hearing myself telling the same stories.. I’m not telling them to the same folks..\u00a0 but when I come across someone new.. and they want to hear about The Colony.. or any other facet of my life.. my family, , sam, work, burning man, It sometimes feels like I’m pulling out a tape and hitting play. Maybe that’s unavoidable when you have things you want to relate..\u00a0\u00a0 but I hate feeling like I’m repeating something.. or worse.. boring folks. I simply don’t know how to stop talking sometimes, Why do we tell the stories we tell ? Why do we feel compelled to tell them as often as we do..\u00a0 ? (as I do ? ?
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As if to make that point.. here’s an interview I did last night for the Linux Tech Show<\/a> podcast..\u00a0\u00a0 Same stories..\u00a0 different audience. ,\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Guess it’s time to make some new ones.<\/p>\n

Yikes .. It’s nearly 1:30.. I better shut up now.. Gnite everybody.. nite Sam !
