Andrew Kau writes: “A motley crew met for a boys weekend on the crystal clear waters of Torch Lake in Michigan. Participants included Peter Krupp, Tom Sander, Jim Weinberg, Paul Wood, host Brad Middlekauff, and myself. As could be expected, the ensuing discussions were raucous and spirited when throwing together, without proper guardrails, a judge, lawyer, political strategist, biotech exec, psychiatrist, and a venture capitalist. Some of the debates needed to be settled by kayak races across the lake and ping-pong elimination tournaments, all over much fudge and bourbon. Among the topics discussed were: the fault lines of gender and politics, the maximum stable angle of a 500-foot-high Sleeping Bear sand dune, caring for aging parental units, phone bill subsidies after kids graduate from college, and our most traumatic experiences at Brown (as well as best classes, which could be one and the same). In the end, the most that this crew could agree upon was that ‘poor is the hen that lays the egg…. in soggy grass’ (ancient proverb invented by Jim). Paul provided free psychiatric consultation during all of the above, which can be boiled down to two words of advice to being healthy, learn how to ‘Move On!’ Next year’s boys reunion (and spouses this time by popular demand) will be in Andy’s mountaintop retreat on Orcas Island—eagles and salmon included. Hopefully this time it won’t take over 75 texts just to arrange the car rental logistics!” Contact Andrew at [email protected].
