‘How Do Lobsters Grow?’

November 28, 2016November 28, 2016 Jo Tango

As a VC, a theme that often comes up with entrepreneurs is stress management. It also comes up as a parent, as I both try to coach my children and practice what I preach to them. Recently, a friend on Facebook mentioned the above video (or, click here). It is a quick 90 seconds and

‘December Song’

November 27, 2016November 27, 2016 Jo Tango

Two of our children recently retreated to the basement for a few hours. The area down there doubles as an informal recording studio. So, I suspected that we were going to be treated to a music video. And, we were. It is up top (or, click here). I love all of it, and minute 0:37

Trevor Noah’s ‘Born a Crime’

November 25, 2016November 26, 2016 Jo Tango

My best wishes to everyone for a safe and restorative holiday weekend. At our home, we divided up the cooking responsibilities, and everyone pitched in.

I also sometimes remember some great memories from college: the Harvard-Yale football game, hyperbolically known as The Game. It’s the one day

The Jabberwocks and ‘Run to You’

November 20, 2016November 20, 2016 Jo Tango

Our son and his a cappella group just released a video, a cover of Pentatonix’s “Run to You.” It’s up top, or click here. It’s a very soulful song, particularly at around minute 3:00. It is a song about love. Given that the Pentatonix pray before going on-stage, I wonder if there also is a

‘Fighting through the Pick’

November 15, 2016November 15, 2016 Jo Tango

Mrs. T. and I this weekend went to see “The Daily Show” correspondent Hasan Minhaj perform his comedy/satire set. It was truly amazing. Rip-roaringly funny at times and very moving at others. He tells his life story: the weird contradictions that happen between his parents’ culture and the U.S., the bullying he encountered in school,
