My mom’s in town from Toronto. My niece and nephew are with her as well visiting. Max and Rachel love this as do I.

I wake up to congrats from my blogger/friends via email on the WEBX deal (who needs CNBC). I have made some absolutley incredible friends blogging and through my ventures the last 12 months. It is astounding.

I walk to work. It is 70 degrees and perfectly sunny. The ambien haze makes everything seem Star Trekky.

Andy Monfried flew through town on the way back home from San Fran and got to meet and catch up face to face. We met through the blogosphere. He has an incredible startup . He could sell sand in the Sahara so having a cool product is just icing :) .

At lunch, I had the coolest small world thing happen. My friend Rick Segal (blog friend) who lives in Toronto emailed me that he was in town for the day. I met him for lunch and he was sitting with his brother Howard (obviously a stud). Turns out Howard and I are on the synagoue board together and friends, yet I never put it together. Nor did Howard or Rick until this morning.

Played catch with Max. Rachel let me kiss her (she wiped it off).

Finally a date night for Ellen and I. Our house was ravaged for 4 weeks by some flu bug that the US governement has cooked up to test on us…but I digress.

We saw ‘Lost Boys of Sudan’ . We should all see that and be thankful.

I am.

Good Wallstrip chat coming at you in the A.M.
