keep your hands off my mama

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.

happy trails Richard…

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!
