excuse me...bobby could you move I can't see

So we have been a little delinquent in our posting duties as of late...probably because we haven't had a whole lot going on...I didn't post it last week but I managed to land a ticket the Kings game. General Mills has some pretty sweet tickets...3rd row between the visitor bench and half court. I also am very happy to report that I got a hold of all 4 of the tickets for the T-wolves when they come to town in March...you can bet there will be some pictures of KG posted after that one. It was actually really hard to get good pictures as teh coaches, refs and players were all in the way.

In other news Heidi and I started playing volleyball with some general millsers...talent we don't have...to be honest we don't have much heart either, but even in losing we had fun our first game. We actually played another General Mills team. They won all 3 games and we are probably the two worst teams in our league...we will be lucky to pull out a game the entire season...but it is fun to play.

Also, Last week Heidi and I went to a Black History month event on the University of Pacific campus. General Mills purchased two tables for the event and there were about 12 employees(and spouses) from the plant in attendance. The key note speaker was Lee P. Brown a former presidential cabinet member in the Clinton administration. He was also a 3 term mayor of Houston, chief of police in Atlanta, Houston, and New York. He also was the first ever African American Phd in Criminology and first African American sheriff in Oregon. I probably left out some of his accomplishments, but there were a lot to mention. He was interesting to listen to...even more interesting was the speaker who introduced him. One of the first ever graduates from a criminal rehabilitiation program first instituted by Dr. Brown...interesting to hear a man talk that spent 30+ years in prison and now is a college graduate and facilitator of the local rehabilitation program. Also pictured above is Liviu Vizitiu the plant HR manager and his wife.
