Mike and Some of the Ole AT&T Wireless Wrecking Crew

Mike had a party last night. He invited some of his old buddies from back in the day when AT&T Wireless was the hottest gig in town. At one time they were all IT management...those were the days...

Mike’s menu included his spicy bean dip and chips, Mike’s homemade mustard potato salad, Frank’s BBQ hot wings, celery and ranch dip, grilled corn on the cob, and home-baked walnut chocolate chip cookies. YUM! Mike did all the work...all I had to do was keep the beverages flowing and the 2-year old happy.

The gang.

The weatherman had predicted clouds and showers, but he was wrong! The sun was out and the evening was very nice. We had a really good time and with any luck the weather will hold out and September will host many more BBQs.

Hi Tancho - Don't let him fool you...Mike was having a lot of fun. He just wants his BBQ not "overQd"!

teresa - Well, what a party weekend we had here in the Seattle area, huh? Maybe Mike and Steve should have a "grill off"?!
