We decided to do it this summer and we turned our month in Alaska into two months in Europe. I plan to write at least one post about what I learned in my “summer in Europe&# after I return to the US next week. However, rather than travel around and be tourists, we just lived.

He was as awesome as Chris and was able to speak from experience around a lot of accelerator activities, especially in Europe. James Barlow , the Director of the Entrepreneurial Leadership Program for The Gordon Institute at the Tufts School of Engineering was also in the meeting.

If you want to understand what is going on in Europe, especially Greece, Ireland, and Germany, how it happened, why it matters, and where it might go, read this book. And I trust his synthesis – it feels very agenda-less and is written clearly from his point of view.

Two summers ago Amy and I spent 60 days together in Europe (half in France / half in Tuscany) just living (no travel). I’ve had three other periods of extended no-travel in the last 20 years. I stopped travelling for three months after 9/11. Last summer we spent 90 days at our house in Keystone.

” I’d add Europe to that – following is a picture of me talking to a group of entrepreneurs in Copenhagen this moving via Skype as part of Startup Bootcamp , a TechStars Network partner with accelerator programs in Copenhagen , Dublin , and Madrid. They are learning what made America what it is.”

It’s a 30 minute presentation by Mary Ann de Lares Norris, the Managing Director of Oblong Europe, that is an excellent overview of Oblong’s technology. We’ve got a few new investments in our human computer interaction theme that we are in the process of closing so HCI has been on my mind lately.

Until recently, I’ve been using a Garmin 305, but it broke this summer when I was in Europe and I switched to RunKeeper on my iPhone. While I always wear a watch, I’ve never tried to instrument myself “real-time&# for the race.

I’ve been running a lot in Europe this summer and am starting to feel another level of base building. However, Charlie stopped a third of the way through due to injuries and some drama ensued, which wasn’t covered in the movie but was reasonably well explained in the book.

While my sushi dining experiences have been limited to the US and Europe, I’ve had a number of amazing sushi dinners, including Masa in New York. Amy and I love sushi. Boulder has a bizarrely large number of sushi restaurants and over the years we’ve frequented them all numerous times.

I had two great months of running over the summer in Europe, with my best month in a decade in Italy. This was my third marathon this year – the other two were Cincinnati (5:24:45) at the beginning of May and Madison (4:47:27) at the end of May.

There is a reason why on page 264 of Venture Deals 4e, it states, “We’ve encountered some challenging situations in certain states in the United States that made firing almost as challenging as firing in parts of Europe.” Then you may only terminate those employees you actually still want to keep.

Several of our companies have had great success in Eastern Europe and Russia with technical teams. I’ve found that secondary/tertiary US cities work better than international locations, with the exception of software/hardware engineering locations. China and India work, but seem to be harder and more hit or miss.

I wouldn’t be here other than the immigration of my great-grandparents (and my maternal grandfather) in the early 1900’s from Europe and Russia. While I feel deeply (and proudly) American, I know that my family has only been here for a few generations.

Phil and I both share a background as Jews whose families came from Eastern Europe. I strongly encourage everyone to do what they can to help elect him as Colorado’s next Attorney General, including donating your time and money to his campaign.
