Just wanted to share some snapshots from our recent company picnic at the Charlotte office, which was a total blast. We met up at the U.S. National Whitewater Center (USNWC) on the Catawba River in Charlotte for a little whitewater rafting, then chilled out under the trees with burgers, hot dogs and - your favorite and mine - a few ice-cold beers. Courtney and I got to attend, along with nearly the entire Charlotte TK crew, plus spouses, significant others and TK off-spring.

We usually do the Boca company picnic in the fall, when it's a little cooler down in south Florida - check out our pumpkin-carving extravaganza we had last year. To my compadres in Boca: Charlotte has issued you a serious picnic-challenge. The bar is mighty high, people. If we rise to it, I don't know if I can handle that much fun!

Here are a few more pics from the Charlotte rafting caper:
