teaching and partners

I try to make some colleagues understand the purpose of a product initiative. They are bright but mostly quiet. I think they get it. These guys meet customers, helping them with dozens and dozens of products. I couldn't do it. I think the session goes well. For lunch we have some nice sandwiches brought in. We talk to some partners.

It's not early when we leave and not light. We take a long cab ride to Amsterdam. I took the picture you see...but a couple of days later.

Tomorrow is an early start to see someone in Germany. So we take a tram ride for a few stops and have a meal in a South American steak place.
