Closing the Chapter of Zigzag

On December 10th 2010, I traveled to New York City, went to 1221 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, took an elevator to the 51st floor, and at 10:02 AM I signed a contract to write The Zigzag Principle with McGraw Hill.

What an amazing ride this has been.

Last Friday was 1,189 days since the initial signing. I was invited this past week to do a keynote at Harvard University in Cambridge Massachusetts. With me was my 17 year-old son Nathan. As I put on my portable microphone and approached the stage I found myself a bit emotional. I often refer to Nathan as a new and improved version of his old dad. As the professors learned about Nathan and that I intended this lecture to be my final, formal Zig Zag lecture they offered to have Nathan introduce me at the keynote. Is there anything more cool than having your son introducing you at Harvard? Particularly on your final presentation?
