Need to go economical? Then go ahead and make them yourself. Just make sure you are using a decent printer and really nice paper (yes it matters). …continue reading "lets give them something to talk about" ›

The Saints were down, the commercials sucked and my buffalo wings were soggy. This was me an hour into the Super Bowl. Then a miracle… a little boy slapped a grown man in the face and said “keep your hands of my Mama, keep your hands of my Doritos” we laughed until we cried, used our DVR to watch the clip over and over again and then the Saints took control.

That was entertainment. As far as the rest of the ads this year….yeah…enough said.

It’s all the neighborhood buzz…the Fremont Fair will not be managed by Solid Ground anymore. It’s going to the Fremont Chamber of Commerce (FCC) http://www.fremocentrist.com/

Today I saw photography that made me stop what I was doing and blog.
George Caswell, wherever you are, I bow down to you.
And someday…well I’m just going to have to hire you. I know these photos are digitally enhanced, but all I see is joy. What a bright spot in my day!

We’ve been growing our relationship with Solid Ground (www.solid-ground.org). Each month we will feature one of the programs the organization supports here on TPNblogs. This month we’re talking about Lettuce Link. Maybe it’s the winter blues that have people dreaming about working in their gardens, or maybe it’s the upcoming NW Flower & Garden Show? http://www.gardenshow.com/ Whatever it is – we are dying to get our hands dirty. …continue reading "growing good will" ›

Richard giving his thoughtful speech...

TPN celebrated the retirement of our much loved co-founder Richard Moore last Friday at the EMP. Attended by family and friends, it had the feel of a reunion as well as a retirement party. Guests included employees from 20 years in the past, TPN’s early days, all out to toast Richard and his general wonderful-ness; a testament to Richard’s management and people skills.

Richard’s love of fax machines was celebrated, and our MC, Greg Elder, dusted off an early version of a fax Richard purchased and gave it as a gift. I’m sure its sitting on Richard’s mantel.

We wish him all the best and we’ll miss his quick sense of humor and easy companionship. Congrats Richard!
