And here were are with my final blog posting about my time in China.  Not much for words on this one, but I do have to say thank you to everyone that supported me and helped me through this adventure of a lifetime.  The family for making do without me home for two months.  John, Daphne, and everyone else in China who kept me in line and (mostly) out of trouble.  My leadership team at Microsoft who supported me and provided the opportunity for me to go.  And to everyone who sent messages via various methods and kept up with the blog – over 1,000 hits.  Not too shabby.  Like any good dream, it all came to an end too quickly.

All I can say now is “How ’bout them Tigers?”

So, come and click through the gallery and see where Mizzou showed up…  Zia jian!
