Microsoft Surface

we are specifying this product on a project for Deloitte and it is aaaaamazing. 

go to the website and watch the video's on the home screen.

love this.

its a floral garden on the wall!

i don't think this will fit on my porch...hah

maybe some day...

i think the squirrels are getting smarter.

do you agree?

i feel like the squirrels used to dart out in front of you, then stop in the middle of the road only to dart back across the street towards the same way they came from. inevitably, this would end in a flat squirrel with its tail blowing in the wind.

but lately, i have been seeing smarter squirrels on the road. squirrels that go all the way across, and have good timing. this morning i actually saw a squirrel weave in-between cars as to not get hit. and he made it!

i am proud of the next squirrel generation. go squirrels go!

sushi on mckinney ::: soft opening

last night, amy, ashley and i had the great privilege of eating at sushi on mckinney, for their soft opening. the sushi was complimentary, but the best part was the company. all of the old wait staff was there and were so happy to see all of their usual customers again. it was such a great feeling, being a part of something smaller, here in dallas. we had a great time!

here is the email i received from sushi on mckinney in regards to the soft opening dinner. My favorite part is that they signed it "sushi team".

Fai, Sushi team and Chef (Chica) from the original Sushi on Mckinney to give you an evening of great sushi and neighborhood friends.

 

Please reply by email to let us know within Sunday you wish to dine with us. This will ensure that our new staff can provide you with the best possible service and allow our chef to plan for your visit. Food for the evening is complimentary.
