It seems that the snow is following me these days. For my first trip of the new year, I headed to the Mountain West, and right upon landing in Denver, boom, snowstorm. Luckily, I made it unscathed to the home of the Chipotle burritos, wearing a jacket that makes me feel like an Arctic explorer.

In case you're somewhere across the vast swath of the US that has been tackled and beat up by this weekend's winter weather like an NFL playoff quarterback, grab a warm, relaxing beverage of your choosing, and join me for a round of Salesforce knowledge.

In case some snow falls out of your inbox when you read this, you can blame politics and the weather. It seems that the weather decided to raise the ante on the US government shutdown today, blanketing the city with snow and by doing so, forcing the government to completely close in the capital city today.

May our friends further north not laugh too hard at our few inches of snow on the ground.

I held off downhill skiing 20th St NW during this storm (it may have happened in the past), and instead braved it into the office to report on all the goodness our community has shared this week. Also, a nearby coffee shop was giving away free coffee. But really, it was all about my commitment to the community. Here's your latest batch of Salesforce knowledge

Happy 2019 PUB Crawl friends! If you're reading this, you're probably asking yourself, "wait, why wasn't the world premiere of the Goat Farm Foundation's new thrilling series, NPSP Cribs, not nominated for every Golden Globe award possible?" I know, that's how I felt too. Especially after going out the day after New Year's to buy a whole rack of this obviously perfect penguin dress shirt to wear on the red carpet.

Unfortunately, I've been told that the Golden Globes are only given out to shows that have already premiered, and since the Goat Farm Foundation's NPSP Cribs debuts on January 17 at 3pm ET, there was some silly rule that got in the way. Well, no matter, this show is can't miss TV!

So, while the studio set gets prepped, enjoy the green room beverages and snacks, and take a look at all the knowledge from the PUB!

As the year comes to an end, I’ll keep this intro short. Mostly because today was one long blur of a day, culminating with the handing over of keys from our Soapbox Engage home of more than a decade in Dupont Circle.

Moving continues to be just as fun as I remembered it...especially on New Year’s Eve.

So, as we bid our old office adieu, from our penguin family to yours, here’s to a healthy and successful 2019! Now, on to the celebration and knowledge sharing!

Ah, the holiday joy of moving offices. Maybe it's the sounds of packing tape, or realizing our Soapbox Engage offices had way too much stuff on shelves I didn't remember existed. Actually, I think it's the way rediscovering old relics and the good memories that come along for the ride.

That's a photo of the "cloud", circa 2004. I found that server under some softball equipment yesterday (Softballer$ forever!). Back in our early years, we were one of the first companies to build and host websites for US Congress, which we called HouseWeb. You can imagine the fun of government shutdowns back then.

This holiday season, I'm incredibly thankful companies like Salesforce and others are powering the "cloud" (don't forget, it's really still a bunch of servers), giving folks like our team a chance to focus on the needs of fundraisers. And moving.

Here's to wishing you all a happy holiday season, and hopefully, a moving-free end of 2019!
