(Community Matters) Good gosh. Not only do I live with the smartest man I know, but I regularly get to spend time with really, really bright people. Today at breakfast – Phil Siegel (AV general partner) and Kyle Fox (Vinson & Elkins partner) discussing corporate philanthropy, community involvement, IPOs and private equity. Today at my second breakfast – Carol Kallendorf & Jack Spears (partners, Delta Associates) discussing poverty intervention programs. Today at lunch – Joe Liemandt (founder of Trilogy) and Jeff Browning (recruiting partner, Austin Ventures) – discussing our recent Lemonade Day, Lemonade Day 2010 and planning a corporate challenge to rival any other.
Last night, dinner with Marianne & Martin Rochelle, Cookie Ruiz, Mark Salmanson and Joene Grissom – our 10+ year dinner club – discussing water rights, the creative arts, politics and the breast cancer bike ride. Tonight, many from our extended family gathering with me & Steven at Julio’s – Tana & Joe Christie, Margaret Keys, Michael Mitchell, Milinda Mitchell, Robert Torian and Janet Maykus & Mark Smith.
I love my life!
