POST.NUMBER.101.::.THE.RETIREMENT.PARTY.

tomorrow [friday] we are going to get together at the yard house for happy hour. so please come and join us. carlie & i will be there at 4:30, and if you want to get in on the goods, make sure to show up when you can [because happy hour only goes until 6pm although i am sure we will be hanging out a bit past 6]. we would love the company.

in preparation for the festivities, i felt nostalgic as i peered back to the start of my blog over a year ago, and found this little gem...


for over two years i lived the majority of my life in an 8-foot by 8-foot by 5-foot box. but no longer.

enjoy.the.story.

  1. Congrats on your retirement from the cube. I was just thinking today how I've spent my entire career in cubes....and how painful it can be. I admire your and Carlie's work, and most of all your drive to do something that you love. Cheers to you!!

    Congratulations!! You and Carlie are becoming quite the inspiration! If I lived nearby, I'd come out to toast the new path you are on!

  7. Wish I could make it, man. Unfortunately tonight Kate leaves for Puerto Vallarta for a week and we already have plans.

    Now that you're not on the same kind of schedule we should plan on getting together next week though!

  9. you should have brought the fax machine and beat the h-ll out of it ala "Office Space" - it could have been your final farewell to the cube life - broke it open like a pinata with candy (i love this idea). Congratulations , I'm extremely excited for you both. Keep moving Forward and God bless! //enoch
