As I pull myself together after celebrating the US men's curling team gold medal run, I've realized that there's been a ton happening in the Salesforce world. But seriously, did you see that comeback? Incredible!

Meanwhile, I thought for a second that I'd aim to break some speed records skiing down this mountain last week, but reason took over really quickly. Après-ski called instead.

If you're coming back to the non-sport world after your Olympic focus, I've got just the right beverage for your needs from the the PUB Crawl bar of knowledge. Enjoy!
