You've heard the moral of the story multiple times. The guy or gal achieves success and then realizes that it is doesn't mean anything unless there's someone with whom to share it. When I hear it, I think, "Already been said. Say something original." Yet, it's a truth worth repeating. Here I am in San Francisco, in a nice downtown hotel, ready to present my research to an international audience, surrounded by good food and a scenic bay. Yet, the experience is like the impressive atrium at the hotel: exciting but empty. It doesn't mean much if I don't have my wife or kids to share it. The moral is familiar, but it's true!
