‘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

When Thanksgiving is incipient, there are familiar sights and sounds in our area: brightly-colored leaves swirling about, the whiff of fireplaces ablaze in the morning, and our oven is baking fruit crisps and pies. I also sometimes remember some great memories from college: the Harvard-Yale football game, hyperbolically known as The Game. It’s the one day

Torrence Boone

November 8, 2016November 9, 2016 Jo Tango

I’ve met so many amazing people in my life. One of the people whom I most admire is Torrence Boone. He and I first met when we were lowly plebes at Bain & Co. We were in the same training group, in a program that gathered all plebes from around the world and put us

A Perfect Celebration

November 6, 2016November 6, 2016 Jo Tango

To fit in school events, we celebrated my birthday over a few days. It was a very simple set of events, which I liked. For lunch, Mrs. T. and I went out for some noodles, a Chinese tradition. Long noodles are meant to symbolize a long life. The next day, she made me a special
