I am slightly behind because I unexpectedly ended up working last Sunday and didn’t have time to put up a post. I am gulping down coffee this morning because we had an absolute cracking large thunderstorm last night. Lots of thunderbolts – I am pretty sure that at least one fell nearby because the was ...
Today (Sunday 7/31/16) is cool and rainy – steady light rain. A definite change of pace from a very dry June and July. The grass here at my parent’s place is definitely looking California at the moment – dry and burnt golden. Yesterday was quite a bit warmer and humid, though not scorching hot. I ...
Hello all and happy 4th of July! I am enjoying a mellow holiday weekend in Carlisle. The weather is very nice (low eighties with a fair amount of wind so it is very pleasant outside). It has been dry this spring so it actually feels like August. I and my parent’s are still shaking off ...
I am feeling quite a bit better this weekend than last weekend – though I still have a bit of a chest cough from having the flu at the beginning of the month. So forward ! I met Paul and his son Tim at the house yesterday and we took care a lot of final ...

May has been a really busy month for me with a lot of travel for both work and personal. I went to California twice, visited the BNY Mellon Innovation Center in Palo Alto which was super interesting and did general work stuff in the office. Then a few days later my parents and I traveled back ...
About 10 years ago, I was heavily involved in building out our office space in San Francisco (about 96,000 square feet). This is in a large downtown office tower and it was bare concrete floors and completely empty floor to ceiling on 4.5 floors – so about 22K square feet per floor. Our architects were ...
It is snowing here in today but we are not supposed to get much. But it is supposed to be very windy later today – up to 58 mph gusts. My Dad was scheduled to look at some potential archaeology sites out by Worcester today – but he conferred with the rest of the group ...
I was in California last week so a bit late on posting Prior to going to San Francisco, my parent’s and I took a walk along Two Rod Road in advance of the incoming snow storm Sunday evening (still was a bit squishy). Two Rod Road heads off toward’s Concord, passing by Punkatasset hill before ...
