Chris' World

With this ring – two become one

Ooooohhh -- isn't it sparkly?

One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them

One Ring to bring them all and in marriage bind them

One Ring to bring two interesting people together — to become one boring couple

P.S. — She said yes!

Chris’ Good Luck in DC Dinner

Once again realized how great of a team that I work with.  Tonight was my “Good luck in Washington DC Dinner” — I’m heading out there in July.  

They gave me some really thoughtful gifts to put up in my new office in DC to remember where I came from.

• A magnetic board with our team logos, in-n-out magnets (because I *LOVE* In-N-Out) and “like a Raney day” spelled out on the side.
• A can of “coolness” (a phrase I use often)
• A box of “cool beans” (another one of my often used phrases)
• A “in case of ridiculusness” case with a “crack pipe” inside
• A blue swan (this is a story that has to be told in person)
• A inflatable shamu
• A poster of San Diego
• A pedometer so I can measure the length of the hallways in my new workplace
• And finally the “bungee jumping through technology” award with a my stuff chicken on a bungee cord

Clearly alot of thought and time went in to putting this collection of items together, and I most appreciate it!  The most important thing about work is really the people you work with — going to miss you all!

It is really cold on the east coast

Being from Southern California, I’m not really used to the cold out on the east coast. And man… it’s cold. I see quite a few people walking around with scarves around their neck — I decided to do one better, and get a turtle fur neck warmer from REI. *NOW* I’m staying warm.

I’ll be posting up some videos from the east coast once I get back to San Diego mid February.
