The Company Christmas Dinner

Last night was the annual Company Christmas Dinner. We had ten people (six employees and four dates), making it the largest dinner ever. I kept my speach short but thanked everyone for boosing our sales to a new record. This year we met at David's Steakhouse, a favorite of the successful business class in Amarillo.

We all enjoyed meeting Doctor Armando (ok, so he's got a few years of med school, internship, and residency, but he's still a nice guy) and in some ways the party was an engagement party for Armando and Jolene. Vanessa brought her friend Jason who told us funny stories about computers. Mike Sparks and his fiance Kyla announced that they had set a date (13 July) and had deliberately waited until after Origins. Petrick's charming "dinner companion" (neither of them is willing to admit it was a date ... yet) was our printer agent, Vickie Bryant, and the two of them seemed to get along and we all hope something grows from their first dinner together.

It has been a good year. The company has grown, in both sales and the kind of activity we have going on. Next year should be even better.
