As I’m sure many of you did, I watched yesterday with great interest the streaming video feed from SAPPHIRE Now, SAP’s annual conference. Of particular interest was the “SAP Mobile Press Conference” that was led by SAP’s Sanjay Poonen. After Sanjay made his formal remarks, he invited some partners and customers to join him in [...]

Over the last few weeks, my wife and I have been taking a class at our shul. A shul (pronounced shool) is actually a Yiddish term that means synagogue. A shul is also a place of learning (notice how it resembles the word “school”), because the rationale is that you not only pray at your [...]

I am admittedly a little late in the game in writing this missive, but I put the blame squarely on the newest addition to the Winthrop Clan who has now made sleep a privilege and not a right for me. Watch out world, in a decade (or two), you’ll hopefully hear from yet another rabid [...]

In other parts, it could be considered a day of recovering from too much food…and perhaps even too much time with your family and/or in-laws. Side note: doesn’t that sound a lot like Thanksgiving Friday? Three sentences in and I [...]

It’s a little frightening (perhaps depressing) when I think about the fact that my being home these last four days, has been the longest period of time I have been home in two months. Oh well. As we get ready for an abbreviated week here in the United States as we celebrate Thanksgiving, I wanted [...]
