Here is a story: I used to work with Esther. Long before I heard of blogging, before I moved back home to Tokyo, before I met Dav. She was on my team, and when I thought our projects were impossibly behind schedule, she'd smile and say, "no problem, it will all be fine." And it would be. Later, completely independently, I started working for Six Apart. One day, Kevin, Esther's husband, emailed me inquiring about an upcoming visit by one of our Japanese partners. Turns out he works with them. So he joined our meetings, and now from time to time, we see each other at work! Last Sunday we went to their house for dinner. They have Kai, who is 4, and a younger baby boy just 3 months old. I felt bad coming over when they have a youngster plus a baby! Graciously, they served the most yummy Spanish meal. Wow. Kai and Tesla immediately bonded in the sense that they were the only tiny tots around...but Tesla had never really faced a 4 year old boy. It was quite a challenge for Tesla, but as long as she didn't wail for cover, we let them go (with the eyes and ears of 4 parents keeping check). Tesla hung in there although there were some rough moments (the video looks a lot worse than it was...she got up and was right back at it later), and in the end she was exhausted from so much running around. It's really neat to see toddlers/kids interact. They can't really speak to each other but they get that they are in a similar world than the adults. Anyway, thank you K & E & K & A for a wonderful evening.
