Week 44 Russell Kido, Practical Components

- How good are they in basketball?  Maybe they can help my 8-year old daughter in her practice and her game.  We will be having some warm temperatures next week, in the 80F range so they can pack light.  They can assist me in visiting customers, might have to take them to the beach or Disneyland, finalize projects for year-end and keep my colleagues in line.  Can I send them to my factory to assist in long lead-time delays on our products? (They can play the good guy, bad guy)



Week 45 Leland Woodall

- You're a good guy, Frank.  I can use them both to help me prepare for Christmas.  I'm so far behind it's not even funny!



Week 45 Frank Kimmey, VeriFone Inc

- Leland,  take 'em both, I have to travel next week and the boys can be a pain when by themselves (like getting into mischief)



Week 46 ????

- assisted with ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week.
