The 85 duo

Congratulations Nate and Kimmy June 2008, these two 85'ers have learned in life that discipline , persistence and hard work do pay off!

MY "Bother in Law", The Firefighter - When I first met Nate 8 years ago, I asked him what his favorite school subject was and what he wanted to do when he got older. He told me in his dry monotone Nathan voice, "Nothing, Football". Since then, this young man has morphed that "Nothing, Football" into a Math BS at UW and a new Career as a Firefigher. His new squad calls him Meatball but make no mistake this lean young man is working hard as he is finishing up his training as one of the newest Gig Harbor fire fighters!





MY COUSIN, The Doctor - Boy, times have changed, I remember when this little girl would pick off the microscopic green peppers on her Jenos pizzas. Now, a hard working determined young lady has emerged a UW Graduate in Honors Biochemistry and Neurobiology. Furthermore, she has been accepted to the UW school of Medicine. According to the US News and World report a 2008 report has UW Med School ranked #1 in the nation for Medical Graduate programs!

Beat the Quocamole

Well, as some of you may already know I just recently decided that I'd take a bit of a break from World of Warcraft, a highly addictive video game that I've been playing for like 3 years now. During my time in WoW, I had a lot of fun playing with friends and familiy; Howard, Quan, Thai, and even Maddie!! So naturally, I thought it'd be fun to see if I could get some more family and friends to play a different game with me now that I have so much time not playing WoW. So, Essentially, I set up a game where you get $50,000 dollars to trade in the real stock market, but with fake money for 1 year. I just created the game so it starts now!

little history behind the name, back in forth grade some annoying dude called me Quoc-amole like Guacamole, so I randomly thought it'd be a good name for this game.

My first buy for the game is GE, I read an artical at www.fool.com that said GE is gonna do good business in china and Tami works there so booya. I set up this game to end on August 3, 2009, I dare you to beat the QUOCAMOLE!!
