Indeed! I've fixed it on the live web version. Not sure how I got it in my head that he had passed.

Life cannot be delegated. I will think about this for a long time!

Along with the context of technology, this concept is of great relevance for a working mother and her time. The main tool provided to us (passive voice...that's interesting), at least in professional mentoring, is that we should engage in substantial delegation. Obviously one starts with things like housecleaning and child care, but I know people who hire personal assistants to manage their family schedule (everything from managing sports to the school "pajama day") and who hire semi-ghost-writers for some of their writing that isn't going in academic journals (I suppose that's an obvious overlap with AI "opportunities").
