Robin: How I Met Cindy

I remember how I met Cindy! I haven’t known her as long as most of you. Joshua had worked with her at Flickr and was currently working with Matt at Twitter, and we were living in Berkeley while I was on sabbatical. I had given birth like a month before Cindy did, and I was standing awkwardly in a queue waiting to get in to Twitter for their Halloween party with a stroller full of a 3 month old baby. I normally live in Wisconsin and had no idea what was happening. Cindy ran up to me, introduced herself (I knew no one else) and we spent a giant chunk of the following year figuring out how to raise babies together. Cal Academy of Sciences featured heavily once we learned both Apollo and Mathison would go right to sleep in the giant fish room. I have never been so grateful that someone took me under their wing to help me navigate life!
