Hi Bob, I didn't see Splinter but thanks for passing on his remarks. 5-7 years is too late for me as I don't even buy green bananas :)

I saw part of the interview because I work up early. Lots of people out here are fit so he doesn't really stand out. I didn't notice if he had extra muscles... it would be interesting to see what he is into. Many of the VCs do their stuff on road bike rides... I meet a lot of good people and get good investing ideas windsurfing... since I road bike ride by myself more for exercise than to be social. The idea is time is precious and golf in a cart isn't exercise... so they have their "golf meetings" on road bikes or other healthy forms of exercise... even hiking is big, especially with the Asian Indians.... One of my best friends is Asian Indian... He's started and sold two companies and gives me some of my best ideas when we hike 2 miles each way to have dinner and chat. He often hikes in the AM in the hills with a few friends.
