Happy New Year Loyal Readers! Welcome to the first posting of 2009. What an exciting year it has been!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending a New Year's Eve Party with many of my co-workers and friends. Everyone had a great time and what made the evening extra special was that the event was a fundraiser for the San Francisco Chapter of the Hopscotch Network.
All the proceeds from the event benefited the Drake Family whose 10 month old son Harry is suffering from Leukemia. Harry's hospital bills have recently reached over $2 million with $20K of that being out-of-pocket. It was an honor to know that our celebration was going to help a family in need.
So as we start 2009 I wanted to share my list of "Top 10 Favorite Just Jon" postings from 2008. These are the entries that I had the most fun writing! Please enjoy this trip down memory lane!

This is Dad...Jon with 4 drinks in his hands ranks right at the top with him wanting to know who was playing football in 'his ballpark'.
ReplyDeleteThis is Dad #2.....To Erin and Sean: If I had your email address I'd have a few things to say about Grissom leaving CSI. If they stick to the science stuff I think it will be ok. Also, my KUNDE ESTATE shirt is by far my favorite shirt in the closet and is worn for special occasions. I should tell you about the time I wore it to the Scotch and Sirloin in the Ventura Marina.
