Pan Asian Weekend!





Yet another great Pan Asian celebration...we should do the Pan Asain dinner twice a year. But wait a minute here? Why all the long faces? Was this the Pan Asian dinner or a funeral? Has Scrooge McKidney been spotted...uh-oh! Fear not bloggers, I am on the case.

Hot Prep

Preperations are being made...the LZ has been built. We await the Hot Tubs landing...it's a bit like waiting for Santa or the Tooth Fairy.

Major to me Minor to others

I received this cool marketing campaign award from EA and the marketing team yesterday...pretty cool. I love working for this company!

Is it time?

You Bet! Mom's frosted cookies, the three wise men and an over abundance of gifts that makes Scrooge McKidney delight in frustration. Yes, it’s time.

Popular Pumpkin

Microsoft celebrates Halloween in a big way. Microsoft families are all encouraged to bring their costumed kid's for trick or treating office to office. It’s crazy! I dressed up the pumpkin that I received for my birthday…and kids loved it. Kids were patting it, laughing at it and one kid took it by the hands and tried to dance with it. It was quite a sight.

Dalene and Claire

This is baby Claire and according to Jolene also the happiest baby on the planet. You wouldn't know it from looking at her but she is teething and according to her mom she has not cried once about it. Pretty amazing.

Cousin Melissa...and Corbin's Birthday!



Melissa is one of Jolene's many cousins but instead of living in Spokane she and her husband Mike live pretty close. Last night we celebrated her sons (Corbin) 8th birthday...it was a blast. The young lady is Ashley, their eldest.

btw Melissa is the one who is talking to Dalene in the bottom picture.

How did this Happen?

I thought one was enough, but I received two boxes of Smokey Cheese this week. 10 Bars of Smokey Cheese...My mind is still swimming...I am set for life. The Lord (or Mom and Paul) has blessed me with Smokey Cheese! Oh Glorious Smokey Cheese!

Now I really miss her...

Yeah, the picture is a little dirty and we are little older but the feeling is still the same. I love you Jolene, Happy Anniversary!

Last Day of Being Orange

My last day of being a temporary employee of Microsoft or "Orange Badge". When I arrived at new employees orientation this morning I was told to turn my badge in. It was strange to see my badge discarded into a huge basket full of disposed orange badges. A new day begins with a new color…

Step Brother Andrew

Dad and Ginny are in this weekend for a wedding and they brought their son Andrew. When I first meet Andrew he was a silly little kid but as you can see here he is full grown dude. I still see the silly kid.
