I had a nice little re-union day with some ex-Vocalocity colleagues – Luis Gutierrez-Rocca and Tom Ray – at Michael O’Keefe’s wonderful restaurant up in North Alpharetta. It was good to hear about what everyone is doing and to catchup. It made me think a bit about how life moves on and how everyone is doing different things almost one year later.
