My tradition is to make smoked lobster for my wife, Virginia, and the local newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, was kind enough to print this fact in an article titled: What notable business leaders are doing for Mom. Now, that's the way a great website is supposed to work! What does this have to do with lobster?

My wife and daughter, Virginia and Kate, were along for the tour. They also make the microsutures that have been traditionally used in cataract operations (although my understanding is that the new foldable IOLs make microsutures obsolete for most operations today). We had to dress up in clean room garb.

Roughly once a year when I travel overseas, my wife Virginia puts up her hand and says “that’s the one!” An unexpected bonus of this trip was how often Virginia and I came across social enterprises in our travels. I just spent almost three weeks in Thailand and Laos on a combined work and vacation trip.

While I actually was momentarily tempted by the mint tea and the ceremony to buy a rug, I remember that Virginia was quite clear when I had asked about gifts from Tunisia, that rugs were not a part of the list. The small rugs come as two identical rugs joined by the fringes, which they try to sell as his and her prayer rugs.
