"All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy." -Egyptian proverbPCG employees work hard! And when they play....they play hard too! The annual summer party is a friendly competition between two randomly (?) (okay, Stacy helps with equilibrium) selected teams.
The Events: Starting off with Volleyball, followed up by small group divisions of Darts, Foosball, or Ping Pong. Next it's off to the Bocce Ball courts in Los Gatos for bocce, drinks, and appetizers. And finishing off the Sports Challenges... the Basketball Free Throw.
All the action makes both teams hungry! Andale caters Mexican fare followed up with our traditional Carrot and Banana Cake from Iciing on the Cake for all contestants!
It is probably a more active company party than most; but this IS a group that champions "healthy living and aging." (straight from their mission statement!) So, they'd better be a Fit and Hearty bunch! It's always a fun event! Stacy and I have the party planning down to an art - Stace is the best to work with! And kudos to helpful party goers who stuck around for the Closing Ceremonies (aka clean up). Three cheers for Geoff and Westin!
This year the Award for the Cutest Kid...the Gold medal goes to Owen Schiller (1st birthday yesterday). Owen could have some stiff competition in 2010 with the Harts and the Bairds both expecting babies!
In a breaking development, there has been discussion about adding new Events to the line up. One possible new challenge that was previewed by a lucky few (who proceeded to TELL ALL - thank you Paige!) is the CAKE TOSS event! In a stunning performance, there was a special time trial/dry run where the skilled athlete managed to gracefully take not just one BUT TWO cakes from a fridge shelf catapulting both into an amazing mid air launch, soaring over the stove and landing on countertop and hardwood flooring in a complete 180! It was spectacular! But this event should only be attempted by serious, well trained athletes. It is not recommended to try the Cake Toss in your own home.
For 2009 the scores were close but the Blue Team was dominant in the end! Winners received $25 itunes gift cards! And it's Back to Work for PCG!
After a lot of hoping and wishing my dream finally came true, a K2 shout out! Keep up the good work!
