"The latte, it starts to smell after awhile"

So says our illustrious PM Eric, who's famous for not discarding the used styrofoam cups in his office.

The occasion? A going away soirée for a fellow teammate, Simon, who's headed back to England. The turnout was good, much beer was consumed and much laughter generated. A personal highlight for me was finally meeting Pat Styles, a fellow debugger junkie and the father of the Symbol Server and DBGHELP.DLL Pat helped me out on numerous occasions before I came to Microsoft. Who knew that someday I'd be discussing tube amplifiers and Leslie cabinets with him at a bar at 1:30 AM?
