Monday September 22, 2014 The weather folks say today is the equinox. That means we should have 12h of both daylight and dark. However, I checked my weather app and Grand Rapids won’t have 12 and 12 until the 26th. I should get a life! We had another beautiful fall day. The day was cool but sunny, high 61. Nancy took a class at MVP this morning. She is feeling much better. I took Ms P on an early morning walk. We met a lot of other dog walkers. At 1130 I walked to the Sundance. It took me about 20 minutes which translates to one mile. I was meeting Mike Guter for lunch. Mike worked for me at Scott Civil Engineering. In fact I gave Mike his first job. Mike until last week worked for URS on some very large bridge projects. Mike just took a job with a large Swedish firm. Their USA office is in NYC. Mike will commute to NYC until he is assigned to a project. A typical project for this firm is in the 1 billion dollar range. Mike seems very excited about the new job. I wish him well. I did take my afternoon nap. After the nap I took a 1.5 mile walk. We had an light dinner and then retired to the den. We watched the Big Bang Theory and now we are watching Scorpion. I don’t think Scorpion will make. Even though I have not seen NCIS New Orleans I predict that it will not make it. This date in 1938, Great grandfather Sanborn is getting ready for winter. He noted it was a clear day with no frost. In the morning he cut and picked some corn. In the PM he split wood and took a load to his barn for the small wood stove. Life was simple for an active man of 83. GGF Sanborn was a happy man.
