It’s still my birthday.. well, birthnight now, i guess.<\/p>\n

I had a really good birthday today.. didn’t do much.. went for another longish snowshoe with my girls, This afternoon I went to a restorative yoga session that Diane and mMrci were putting on.. really blissful.<\/p>\n

Right before Yoga, friend Joanne came over to help me take a picture for me. I need a ‘grown up’ picture for something i’m doing next fall. here’s what we came up with. what do you think ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Afteryoga, diane drove all the way into Winooski to get us Vietnamese food from Pho Dang just for my birthday. YUM !<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

For desert, Gabe and I tried making a Samstone using\u00a0 thermite. it didn’t work .. but the results were still cool. We made a samstone out of wax<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

then we packed sand around it.. after sieving the sand to remove the big pieces. then we mixed the thermite and put it in a flowerot over the can witht he sand and wax samstone<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

then we lit the thermite with a torch.. WOOOOSH.. a huge fire ball and smoke and the flowerpot cacked and glowed.. i can post the movie tomorow..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

after a few minutes to cool we cracked everything open.. alas.. no samstone.. but…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we got the coolest ‘bubble ‘ of iron i’ve ever seen. It’s a perfect hollow metal shell of pure iron…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

pretty cool way to end my birthday<\/p>\n

thanks for all the good wishes folks. means the world to me<\/p>\n

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