Today we had our first ever holiday party and it wasn’t anything you would expect.

Our virtual VoIP party extended over four different time zones.

Bulgaria, Ukraine, Switzerland, Utah and California ‘dressed up’ for our 2-hour long party that included no food, no music and not even alcohol.

The main event was our virtual gift exchange which entailed each one of us getting the others a virtual gift worth no more than $10K.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Franco was invited to be the featured guest on “Dancing with the Stars” and an all-you-can-eat certificate at Sai’s Vietnamese restaurant.
• Matteo true to his Italian form, received an original Ferrari…suitcase.
• Casjen was smart enough to come up with an excuse and didn’t attend the party, I mean phone call.
• Peter got a 50 year old Rand computer with a steering wheel so that he can drive product strategy from the helm.
• Niki got a reminder that it has been over 12 years since Bulgaria fielded a decent national soccer team.
• Alex revealed his addiction to Monet paintings.
• Steven was beaten and bruised for being on the wagon (not that he was ever off…).
• Myself – I scored SIX live cows, producing fresh raw milk. Lot’s of raw milk.

Hopefully next year we will be able to play the game with real cash.
