On December 10th the team at Keystroke assembled in Toronto at the Marriot to celebrate the holidays, and we had over 70 people in attendance, with families included. The team from Montreal charted a bus that morning to drive here, and experienced some immediate turbulence as one fo the tires blew just outside the city limits. Thankfully a new bus was sent to replace it, and the Montreal gang arrived just before the party.

Other members from Arizona and Ohio also flew in, and the group from Kitchener arrived separately in about half a dozen cars.

A good time was had by all, and everyone was able to celebrate late into the evening as we provided all in attendance a room at the hotel. My attempt at a "state of the union" speech at the beginning of the evening was disrupted somewhat by my 6-year old daughter trying peek out from between my legs, to peer at the audience.
