This is a funny little story for those who you who can relate. Back "in the day" I wasn't so…well...dumb. I graduated from college. I had 2 scholarships. I was kind of smart. After a few years, we had the pitter patter of little feet and I 100% chose to stay home. Now…it has been almost 22 years and here is the result.
Last night, we had 2 work people from Silicon Valley to the house for appetizers and drinks, opting to go out to dinner after. I had never met them, so, as usual, I wasn't worried about the presentation, food, drinks, or what to wear…I was worried about what they were going to think of me and what the heck I would talk to them about. We ended up having a great time, after I broke the ice like so:

CTM to S: So, do you work in the city?
S: I'm actually not working right now
CTM: Oh…must be nice to take a break. (?!?)
S: My company got bought by GOOGLE
CTM: Wow…awesome..a well deserved break then.
Dave: He invented the Android phone
CTM: uhhhhhhhh…that's nice…
END of conversation…I turn to CW who is talking to Dave about Boulder
CTM: SO, where did you go to school?
CW: Harvard
CTM: uhhh…that's nice
CTM: William, tell Mr. S about your computer hacking skills…!

The evening progressed and we ended up having a great time…very sweet (young!) people !!
Today I am on round 2…prepping good old American food for an entrepreneur from England…hoping he likes BBQ and blueberry pie…stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!
CTM
