    I'm a WORLD RECORD HOLDER!!!!

    Good moring everyone. I just wanted to share with you that I, along with 2775 of my closest friends broke the record for the worlds largest pillow fight yesterday afternoon. This is the unofficial total and we are waiting for the official word from the Guiness Book of World Records. The company that I work for donated all of the pillows used to the Hole in the Wall Camps. Here is a local news article about the event. I didn't have my camera with me so I don't have any pictures to post, but I might be able to get some off of the company intranet site later.

    A good time was had by all!

    Good morning Nat! Lands' End is a pretty good place to work. Oh, and I decided that I'm going backwards this year, so I will be 29 again tomorrow!!!! I hope you had a great B-day yesterday.

    Look out 29, here I come, again!

    Nat, I don't think I'm going to go back that far. I will stay within the 26-30 range, so my insurance doesn't go back up! ;)
