I had lunch at Buck's today. Believe it or not, it was my first time. Despite countless lunches with VCs, I somehow never had lunch there. Joining me were Bill Harris and Louie Gasparini, respectively Chairman and CTO of PassMark Security. Although I didn't eat much as usual, I really enjoyed the lunch.
Bill, who was CEO of PayPal and Intuit, had great stories to tell. The ability to tell stories well is a valuable skill I wish I had but don't. All I can manage is react intelligently or project voice to forcefully pound in a message or two. That's second class IMHO compared to the ability to paint and animate a picture with voice.
Anyhow, I'll have to try the artichoke next time. Robert, remember that lunch you owe me?
