I'll wear those epic plaid London Kubecon pants...

This photo gives me the happies in a big way. See one or both of you at re:Invent?

Rachel's at the Camp Pendleton gate right now and I haven't heard from her in a bit, so I'm kind of wondering if she got arrested. Would be the proudest, most American bail dollars spent in our lifetime if she did.

Such a wonderful place. We had dinner last night in a 605 year olde pub that was frequented by Charles Dickens at one point.

Also, they used to hang pirates out back.

I still have an X account for work, so if you can convince enough analysts to leave, I get to close it! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not being quiet.
