At the time of this writing I have just attended a Georgia Tech Foundation board meeting in Atlanta and am always there surrounded by achievers who exhibit similar energy. If phrased properly in the framework of high energy leadership, that can be smart delegation and not a sign of disinterest.

and I had just picked up my 13-year old son and his best friend from a bar mitzvah party in the Emory area of Atlanta.
