It’s been a busy week. We had friends from Sydney with their three darling daughters, ages 2 - 7, staying with us. Suffice it to say, Quinn was in heaven.

It was a whirlwind visit, but was great to see them. The last time we saw them, we were all pre-kids! We were out in Sydney for the wedding of the sister of the friend who was just here. On that trip Thor experienced first-hand a true Australian “cock’s night” (aka bachelor party), complete with a naked groom tied to a street lamp at Darling Harbor and ending with Thor and the best man hosing down the inside of the taxi cab at 3 in the morning after the passed-out groom had, well, creatd a situation that called for the hosing down of the inside of a taxi cab. My how things have changed.

I did manage to meet our dashing Mayor, Gavin Newsome, this week thanks to Adaptive Path hosting a fundraiser in our building and Bryan for arranging the invitation. He is as gracious and charming in person as you might imagine him to be. He uses that great political trick of making you feel that he thinks that everything coming out of your mouth is absolutely novel and brilliant. Even when what’s coming out of your mouth is, “Nice to mee you Ga.. May Newthhhhh….”

And Quinn has really started to draw people now. He did this one tonight. It’s my favorite so far. I thought it was a tall woman with a happy face mumu. But then Quinn informed me, “He ate all these people”. Oh.
