Thank You Microsoft!

What a great way to start the new year.  Tuesday morning (well, afternoon really) I checked my email and saw the following subject:

Congratulations!  You have received the Microsoft MVP Award

I've received the MVP award in C# for 2008!  I'm very excited about being an MVP again.  I was previously an MVP from 2001 - 2006.  Since I was so busy in 2006 becoming an independent contractor, my community efforts took a back seat and consequently, my contributions we're not up to the level that the MVP award reflects.

As my consulting work became steady and things were running smoothly, I could dedicate more time to the .NET community (both local as a Vice President of a user group and globally as a member of the INETA marketing team).  Thanks again to Microsoft and especially my MVP Lead Rafael Munoz!
