I started a job yesterday at a new startup company in NYC. I’m employee #2. I can’t say much about it yet, but will say that it’s going to be fun work, and lots of it. I’m confident in the idea, and the CEO. We’re going to change the world. Or at least make a bunch of money.
The protagonist, Alonso Quixano, is a country gentleman who has read so many stories of chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight errant. Together with his earthy squire Sancho Panza, the self-styled “Don Quixote de la Mancha” sets out in search of adventure. The “lady” for whom Quixote seeks to toil is Dulcinea del Toboso, an imaginary object crafted from a neighbouring farmgirl (her real name is Aldonza Lorenzo) by the illusion-struck “knight” to be the object of his courtly love. “Dulcinea” is totally unaware of Quixote’s feelings for her and does not actually appear in the novel.
