Tech Valley Babies

For the record, this was David's idea, not mine.

So we were at an awards dinner about a month ago where a local businessman/investor, Walt Robb, was getting an award from the local Chamber of Commerce. It was a pretty big affair (black tie) and had about a thousand people in attendance. David had been part of the presentation of the award by being in a video tribute by local businessman that had worked with Walt. It was actually pretty cool because in the video it would flip from David to Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, then back to David, some other businessmen, Jack Welch, David. I want to get my hands on that tape.

Anyway, when Walt got up to recieve his award he spent the next 10 minutes telling everyone how they are not doing enough to advertise New York's Tech Valley. He wants it to be as well known as Silicon Valley in California. They should have the Tech Valley logo on their business cards, stationary, shipping boxes, etc. After the speech, David was talking to a group of people and someone joked that they were going to get a Tech Valley tatoo. David immediately jumped on the idea and soon after ordered a bunch of Tech Valley temporary tatoos that his management team were all going to wear to the next board meeting that Walt would be at. But he couldn't stop there. Wouldn't it be funny if the babies wore the tatoos...on their foreheads?

Poor babies! Walt thought it was hilarious.

PS - A friend of mine was commenting that I was the best defense the babies had against their father (and his crazy ideas), then I told her about the tatoos and she conceded that maybe I'm NOT the best defense. According to her they need to learn to defend themselves!!
