Last week I learned my best friend, who has spent the last fifteen years within a few minutes walk, is moving south. Not only him, but his wife, his children, and every unique combination I - and my family - have been so lucky to spend so much time with.
I know that, due to the marvels of modern life, he’s but a call away - and yet, I also know those interactions are likely a poor substitute for what we’ve had.
On May 1st, 2006, I got the call. Eriko said it was time, and so - it was time! I asked my brother to drive me home, a less than 10 minute jaunt up Queen Anne hill, and then Eriko and I were off to the hospital. She had selected a midwife who worked out of Evergreen in Kirkland, which left me with daily nightmares of being stuck in rush-hour traffic. Luckily, this was early afternoon and the 405 was free.
For the first time - in my career - I cancelled a vacation due to the demands of the job. It was to have been a solo affair, and thus all the dissapointment was felt only by one.
Me.
Excited to see our game-changing mission to bring an economical path to healthier agriculture become known to the world.
This is only the first step!
When Momo was first born, at first glance … I thought I had a George!
Our midwife corrected me, and tears of joy streamed down my face.
Happy Birthday to the young lady who regularly brings me to tears! 😂
I’m excited to run the software team at Carbon.
