We had eight glorious years with Dori, our beloved Goldendoodle. Just seeing her in the street put a smile on people’s face. She was alway up for a pet from random strangers and could be trusted with the youngest of kids. She made the big move with us from the suburbs back to the city as a pup (not pleased at first with the lack of grass but then happy with all the play time with friends). We will remember many fond moments with Dori, such as sitting on the stoop and watching the world go by ...

I have written Thanksgiving posts in past years thanking entrepreneurs, teachers and my parents. Today I want to thank my immediate family: Susan, Michael, Katie and Peter. You are each amazing in your own way and bring so much joy to my life. Thanks for putting up with my overcommitment to work and various other projects. Thanks for letting me drag you onto steeper than you would like ski slopes and into windier than you prefer sailing days. Thanks for calling me out when I am wrong. Through...

Bryce has had some great posts about his analytical (and tech supported) approach to fitness. I used to find staying in shape to be quite the challenge – I would start the day with great plans of going to the gym or exercising and then wind up scheduling another meeting or answering emails instead. The solution that Susan and I have settled on is to go out every morning as soon as there is enough light and hit some tennis balls (regular in summer and paddle in winter). We are lucky to have pu...

I am leaving later today for a family vacation in Europe. Like last year, it turns out that I am in the middle of several business things that can’t really wait until I get back. I don’t find that to be a problem though, especially when heading to Europe. For starters, I tend to get on European time right away, which means that I have a couple of hours in the morning before everyone else gets going. As I won’t be blogging while away, this will be time completely available for work. It also he...

Sorry, no Tech Tuesday today as I am catching up on email. My excuse: I took our daughter out for an evening sail and overnight on the boat last night which I had originally promised for the weekend …
