Mmmm…Tryptophan

2 comments November 22nd, 2006 David Bush - Iasta

I will be taking a few days off from blogging and doing the normal Thanksgiving holiday weekend checklist. This would include eating too much, driving too much, watching football and, ultimately, being thankful that the weekend is over.

That being said, I thought I would recall some things I am thankful for:

  • I am thankful not all companies are lemmings and are willing to make what they feel is the best decision, not the safest.
  • I am thankful for FreeMarkets getting acquired and training so many good people so well. Iasta has directly benefited time and again.
  • I am thankful that we never took other people’s money and still call all the shots with no pressure from less than desirable forces.
  • I am thankful for Tim Minahan - Supply Excellence refusing to acknowledge our existence, thus validating our position as a competitor. ;)
  • I am thankful that I do not know either TomKat or Brangelina (how many people are they?).
  • I am thankful for the end of the Mike Davis era and the Return to Glory of IU Basketball.
  • I am thankful that good beer started becoming available at the same time that I could afford it.

In all seriousness, I hope everyone has much to be thankful for and especially for our armed services that make all of this silliness possible.
