Sick Day

I woke up sick this morning and could not fly to Toronto where I was planning to do a session at Collision with Matt Glotzbach, CEO of our portfolio company Quizlet.

I sent some emails to let people know I could not make it and went back to bed and slept for another few hours and I feel a bit better.

I do this to myself a few times a year when life gets hectic. The good news is that Memorial Day Weekend is upon us and that means some much needed R&R.

Speaking of Matt Glotzbach, here is a video that Matt and Quizlet’s founder Andrew Sutherland did three years ago to introduce Matt to the Quizlet community. It does a great job of showcasing Matt’s personality and strengths (and Andrew’s too).

    I hadn’t heard of Quizlet before – great idea.The should consider a “Stay Sharp Summer” campaign, to counteract summer learning loss (especially in math).

    There was, for a moment, some serious discussion amongst a group of folks who were at Via today to head over and bring you some chicken noodle soup but we thought better of it.

    Ah, looks like the first ever, science fiction becomes reality, transportation over the Internet!!! I.e., I got a cold, and apparently you got the virus from my blog post!As a child and young adult, I’d get bad colds about once a year. Then they went away as if I had already had and become immune to all the common cold viruses. This cold is the first in 20+ years.Ah, more science fiction: Maybe my application for a do-over has been granted, and I’m about to become a young adult again!Soooooo, since I have a Ph.D., ah, have it good for one more thing!!, I should get a part time slot teaching at a college!!!! Gee, Vassar is not very far away!!! Sooo, right, meet some coeds, all part of the do-over.Then meet their younger sisters, say, in about the 10th grade …!College coeds? From Yoda, “Too old. Too old to begin the training.”! Comparing the high school and college girls I knew, this time, only high school — won’t make THAT mistake again!First have to shake off this virus!
