Hmm...well looks like I'm not doing so well at my attempt to keep a journal, but I'll keep trying.

Lot's going on and done since my last post, so I'll mention some of the things that stick out in my mind.

Boat life continues to be good, though I'm not looking forward to doing laundry! Last Sunday I went sailing with a friend, we dropped the crab trap and had a nice sail around Puget Sound. Upon retuning to the trap we found a bounty of 5 crabs (4 Dungeness and 1 Red Rock). We then motored down to eavesdrop on the Chris Isaak concert on the pier while eating our catch. The concert, food and tunes combined to create a memorable evening. I'm looking forward to more evenings of the same this summer.

Work is good, if busy. Lot's of activity and a fair amount of progress on my project. Can't talk about it publicly, but I think it will be big!

Also went back East to Vermont for a board meeting at the Putney School, my high school. I am now officially a Trustee of the school. The meeting was at graduation, which brought back serious memories. I signed up to chair a committee on technology, which is an area the school has fallen behind in. I hope to help out with the selection of a hardware platform and the integration of technology into the both the education and community experience. Part of what makes this challenging is that Putney is located on a 500 acre working farm in VT and has very liberal leanings. Computers are seen by some members of the community as too "corporate" or simply the antithesis of an interpersonal community…I believe the opposite.

Well, I'm off to do laundry!
