On the journey through life you will find people that you know will always be your friends. I am lucky to have found not one person, but a very special group of people, that I will be privileged to always call my friends.
This group of friends are former co-workers who have always had my back, always made me laugh until my sides hurt, always shared their knowledge with me, always gave-even before I needed to ask, always loved me for exactly (and perhaps in spite of) who I am.
This week, many of the members of this group were in town for a company function. Even though I am no longer an “official” member of the team, I was invited to join them for their after-hour gatherings. How honored I was to be able to join them! I love you, Joy, for granting me a Lifetime Membership to the most amazing team that I have ever been associated with.
Below is the photo diary from a wonderful dinner party hosted by Rod and Kelly. What an amazing evening, and fantastic dinner. The photos will give you a snapshot of some of my favorite people! (Sorry guys, I went from the antique camera that I used in California, to using my Palm Treo as a camera! I’m still trying to decide if this is an improvement! You get to vote!)
is waaayyyyy cooler then you guys are!”
Jeremy, “You have a point Howard. The Myriad is pretty cool.”
Kayce, “How can you say that, Howard. Rod, Mark and Josh have an excellent Quality Score!”
Kayce enjoys more story-telling by our favorite leader, Joy, “I was all over it, like a big hairy dog!”
“While you guys were eating dinner, I was reading the procedure manual, and it clearly states that you must be standing with the proper posture to nail this song on Guitar Hero!” Pete is The Man!
“Thanks for the tip, man. This is pretty good for my first audition, don’t you think? I gotta rush back to the office now and put together a spreadsheet to track the progress of our upcoming concert tour!” Josh
It’s so easy, I don’t even have to stand up!” Mark
Jeremy, “Pete, I’m not sure you know who you are messing with. The summers get so hot in Phoenix, I chose Foosball as my indoor sport.”
Pete was first in line for the great seafood feast. Of course, I was second!
Thanks, Kelly and Rod, for your wonderful hospitality and excellent meal!
