Although his birthday is not until tomorrow the family celebrated Nico’s 17th birthday this evening. Jeanine prepared his favorite mac and cheese casserole and Maya baked a yummy flourless chocolate cake which was served with a raspberry sauce and freshly whipped cream. Kyle gave him a bucket of golf balls which were put to immediate use after dinner. Our undulating back yard is non optimal for volleyball or soccer but when it comes to golf it cannot be beat. We essentially have a driving range complete with elevated tee area. Nico is the best golfer in the family and did his best to give Kyle and I some pointers. Earlier today I had breakfast with a former colleague from Sonos who gave me a tour of their new facility in downtown Cambridge. The company is growing by leaps and bounds and the new brick and wood beam facility has a very nice feel to it. While I miss many of the folks at Sonos, I was reminded how much I hated the commute.
