Thanks AOL, you rock!

Though today is my last day at AOL. It's been a great experience and time.

I would like to say two things:

1)  Thank you all so much. It's been great to work at this company, with such smart people delivering great products and programming.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  

2) My blog moving forward will continue.  Yes, I know that may be disappointing to some of you,  but I will keep on going with my blogging.   (If you want to unsubscribe to the alerts for blogs goto alerts.aol.com)

Below are some photos from a skit Ed and Hamid did for me today. It was very funny.. Those guys should be on television!     

Thanks team. You rock!

In Memory: Leo Pot

Today is one of those days that feels "empty" or "numb".    I attended a funeral for Leo Pot, who died on July 4th from Cancer.     Such a nice man, very successful with his businesses, and a great family.  Funny, sharp, witty.   He shared a glass of wine or two with me, and gave me thoughts on life after leaving my last job.    More important, he has a wonderful family.    It's hard seeing his 3 young daughters at the funeral, each dealing with grief.  Live each day to the fullest.  Make sure you get the most out of what you do, and spend time with people you care about.

But Frank Gruber set an example for me last year.  When he spots these comments, he follows up with a comment and (if possible) contacts the person who wrote the it. Often the comments don't have contact info or use real names.  But if they do, Frank will email them as follow up.  And the response is normally good.      If Frank can do it (as busy as he is), so can we all do it.
