I am here

OK. I must admit to being the weak link here. Sorry. Where to start? Firstly, as I think you all know, we have decided to put off the move until the Spring. We just couldn't get it together. Too much going on. I am bummed that we will miss out on the house we had our eye on but I am sure we will find one we like in the Spring. The good news is that we have spent so much time and money getting the place ship-shape to sell that we love it. It looks great. Since we are sticking around, we decided to join East Bank Club. East Bank is really nice. They have great daycare so Lena can drop the kids off and workout. She looks great by the way. I just love the pool and jacuzzi. Yesterday, we had our "Green Card" interview. Think the movie. No "what is her favorite color," etc. My strategy was perfect. Bring the kids in and let them go crazy around the office during the interview and they would want us out of there asap. Anyway, Lena's application is approved and she is now a permanent resident. Glad to have that taken care of. On the business side, things are well. I was in SF the other day to meet with venture capitalists. We met with a firm in Palo Alto and also with Texas Pacific Group in SF. TPG is the largest private equity group in the world at 80 bln so it was quite a moment in my career. We believe it went well but we will see. I did get to see James and Clark and Lucy and also had dinner with Lucille and Justin. We had a great time. My two bosses just loved Lucille. They say you have exceptional beauty and poise. Of course, I agree. Dad's birthday is tomorrow. K&K are gone for their 25th anniversary and obviously Liz is not around so I want to make sure he has a nice bday. I plan on taking him out to dinner and though I would pay for a guide to take us fishing for salmon next week. Please remember to call everyone though I know you will. I love you all.
