Mixed emotions accompanied the
release of the first post-Gideon DVN - happiness to see
John's important work taking some tentative new steps,
sadness that he isn't here to do it. There also comes a
profound realization of how much more went into the process
than we ever appreciated. It feels like trying cook
Grandma's signature dish based on the partial list of
ingredients in collective memory. Thus, we're thankful for
your encouragement and for those who surreptitiously spit
their food into a napkin and convincingly said they were
full but it was great.
