Work has been long and hard this week. We're making progress and it's getting more exciting - as marketing collateral emerges - but there remain challenges, too. PD has been an experience about high-functioning/synergistic teams, but not in a smarmy, self-aggrandizing MBA way. There's also a lesson here about workspaces and teams and teamwork that I think Webb and Ross knew. The PD building exudes collaboration and is full of the things that makes teams work. People often laugh (jealously) about email fwds showing Google's offices, but I will nod in acknowledgment of the creativity that is engendered by such a great environment.

Last night we set off after work to find boots (insert scoreboard "nngngngngngngnnnnng" noise here) and to watch Allen's girls. Chicks v Konkrete Kids, 7:30. Parkland High School. We were there and it was a snoozer. Allen scored 25 points and lost. Like one irrationally angry fan yelled in the second quarter: "I'm not getting my $6 worth!"
