Heather has been looking for a job since we moved here, and in the past week she has managed to find not one, but two new jobs. Her fulltime one is at a company called PPD, located just outside Madison, where she will be an assistant scientist in the inhalation dept, working with asthma inhalers and such. Her part time one (just a few weeknights and an occasional weekend) is at a pet-sitting company, where she will go and walk, feed, etc dogs whose owners are out of town. She has already started that one this weekend, while the PPD one starts on Mon. Good job Heathrow!
It snowed here all day yesterday (another few inches of fresh snow!), so Heather, Vontoux, and I all went to a sledding park last night for some late night sledding fun. A good time was had by all, especially little Vontoux, who loves the snow and chasing after us on the sleds.
After an email mixup at work, it appears that Heather and I will be going to a Xmas cocktail party at John Burke's (the president/CEO of Trek) house this Fri night. To make a long, funny story short, John accidentally emailed me a few weeks ago an invite to his house for dinner that was intended for his sister. Upon realizing his mistake, he added me to the invite list to his cocktail party to make up for his error. It's a total pity invite, but I'll take it! :) His annual party is usually just for top managers and company higher-ups, but it looks like this year it will be attended by Heather and I as well! I looked at the email to see who else was invited to his party, and it showed names such as Gary Klein, Keith Bontrager, Gary Fisher, Zap Espinoza, etc... Looks like we'll be in some good company! ;)
That's about all for now....time for me to go shovel the driveway.

Are you going to ask them about a Trek adventure bike frame? Don't have too many fruity drinks either.
I think I am going to wear my Ski&Bike t-shirt from 1995 and my pair of jeans with holes in them. Heather is probably going to wear her birthday suit. :)
Dave-One can never have too many fruity drinks...and I will be sure to ask Bont/Klein/Fish about an adventure frame to rival the Pugs..
1. Drink lots of fruity drinks, or drink the best stuff there, it's your only chance to make an impression. Remember you were invited, it wasn't a mistake!
2. Offer opinions when needed and stand firm on your beliefs. Thumb wrestle to prove your point.
3. Introduce Heather first and what you do second.

It is not a successful party unless you leave with puke on your shirt, and you have stolen something of value from the owner of the house.
The Brian shuttle is on the launch pad and the countdown has begun...this little shindig will send you soring to new heights...all the hobbin and "knobbin" you gotta do, we'll still respect ya, gotta do whatcha gotta do to get ahead...no pun intended.
