Sorry but if I can't come here to brag, then I can't go anywhere to brag

I’ve got to show you my son’s new Silicon Valley retirement house;

It when on the market Saturday. They accepted his offer at 11 am. And he’’ close on it tomorrow!

I think my wife and I are more excited about it than he is. He showed it to me last night online and we’ve been giggling about it all day!

you’ve raised a successful man. I hope they have a guest room (or cottage! with your name on it).

He’s a retired Silicon Valley VP. I’m a retired NYC Union Carpenter.

Saratoga is very nice.

That’s just crazy money but a nice place.

Nice! Not too far from some nice trail running.

Cathy, that’s good he’s been a runner since HS!

That’s … impressive is the only word that comes to mind. The only polite word anyway. Maybe it’s been asked, but … uh … how does one afford such an abode?

How old is your son?? I think I recall you are in my AG? Nice place, just need to put in some stainless eyelets, for those lane lines!!! Does looks like some good running in the background there, maybe some horse trails nearby too..Happy trails to your son, looks like that good spot we were looking for years ago for a Lavender room meet and greet.. (-;

Wow. It has taken a lot of hard work for him to get there. Congratulations, I’m sure you are proud.

He’s 55. He was an original AI researcher as an undergrad at Stanford. He always worked with that same Stanford crew and retired from Arista three years ago. He runs a small fund that donates to Democratic candidates and environmental companies.

Thanks for posting a little bit about your son. As others have said, you must be really proud of him. I think it’s great you were able to brag about him here.

What a beautiful place!

Hell yea! Congrats to your family. Just read the posts and it seems he has worked hard and is now reaping the benefits.

Can I nominate a new destination for our lavinder room meet up?

a man wearing a sombrero is laying down in a classroom and says i 'll allow it

super congrats to him, and I hope you’ve got an open invite

since some may not have caught it…

Way to go man. And of course you can brag about it here.

Congrats! To both of you(?) on retirement.

For some reason when you mentioned your son, I assumed someone in their 20-30’s that’s decided to retire. I guess I was just a few years off.

Congratulations on raising a successful kid.

Every inch of Saratoga is nice. Excellent biking (mountain and road- hills), running and swimming.

Will your son consider adopting an old broken down triathlete?

Wow - that’s crazy nice!! Congrats to him and you! Saratoga is near my neck of the woods, with epic cycling, hopefully he’s a triathlete/cyclist!
