Snowed In (with Apple Pie)

February 15, 2015November 28, 2015 Jo Tango

It’s Sunday of Presidents’ Day weekend, and I am snowed in, due to a blizzard (see up top, or click here, for a pretty cool “Snowlapse” of a recent Boston snow storm).

  We are skiing up in Vermont for a few days and are pretty far north, near Canada. Some shots above. As a VC, you almost never go offline. So, I check email a few times each day and had a call with one of our companies. But, there are many people who almost never

Happy Holidays (and, Help)

December 25, 2014November 4, 2018 Jo Tango

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! This Christmas morning, we are in a relaxed-but-busy mode. I’m cooking a fair amount today, including cinnamon rolls (from a can), cranberry-pumpkin bread for lunch, and a standing beef rib roast, sides and two desserts for dinner. We are doing Christmas gifts a bit different this year. Each family member is
