Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle

At the Butterfly Garden. This one is alive.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I went with Alex and his boys to the Woodland Park Zoo. Heather was training for the 3-Day Walk and couldn't join us.

We saw the reptile exhibit, petted the goats, fed the birds, oooh'd at the bats, mingled with the butterflies. And the boys rode the ponies.

It was a personal visit and a business visit. I was asking Alex to be on my board of advisors, so we talked about my business idea, and he gave me some advice both from a technical standpoint and a business standpoint. When we got back, Heather had returned home and I got more advice from her. Heather has an MBA from UW, and she had given me advice in the past about b-school. All in all, it was a heartwarming afternoon. And productive to boot.
