End of an Era

My last day at work was a memorable one.  In the morning the fog hung over the Bay just right and the view was special.  I’m going to miss seeing this while checking emails, sipping coffee every day.

My analysts surprised me in the morning with a nice bottle of champagne, which really meant a lot.  Thanks again Simon, Diane, and Eric!

And the highlight of the day was a company-wide send-off lunch.  Here’s me with Fred, our Founder and Chairman, and Jon our CEO.  They really made it happen for me, and for that I’ll always be grateful.  They were great bosses.

It’s bittersweet to leave a great company with wonderful people.  And it feels good to part on good terms.  But now it’s time to start focusing on my trip.  Adventure is a worthy pastime.
