Re: Look who is 21 today!!

So... Today...

The trip to Pittsburgh was interesting.
I basically spent 24 hours on the road, and it happened to coincide with my birthday. The interviews went very well, and it was a very positive experience. I got back to CU about 9PM EST and as we're walking into the building, Chris Carnevale says "John... I want you to remember, I had NOTHING to do with this."

So I walk upstairs, and Chris is snickering... following me to my room. He subtley suggests I should check chief delphi... and what do I find??

I knew there was doin's a transpir'in... but I really didn't expect this.

First off, someone on Team 20 happened to wander into CD today, and then showed my father (20's head engineer), who got a TREMENDOUS kick out of this. So yeah... you've made my parents very happy (and highly amused).

Secondly, I think everyone got a huge kick out of this... so I'm glad I could be of some amusement to all of you.
(15-20 phonecalls between 11:30 and midnight?)
(30+ IMs/Emails when I got back?)

Thirdly, never inspire Aidan Browne to do ANYTHING. He's easier to be friends with when he's bored. Aidan buddy, I love ya man... but you WILL pay for this.

Ohh... and I can't forget Amanda Morrison. I have something special in store for you. Be Afraid.

So thank you all for making this day special. I really am ALWAYS very surprised by community outpourings like this, and I really do appreciate it. You guys rock!

Thanks Again,
John

PS - I'm just a poor college robot nerd... I'm definitely not buying.
