For a guy whose theatrical credits are limited to an obscure high school play and boy scout skits, this week has been a high point in playing the part of interesting characters.

Last Saturday, I led a Pioneer Day celebration parade dressed as Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet. Wednesday night, I dressed the part of a 1980’s rapper in the Sun Microsystems Catalyst Conference hospitality suite. Thanks to Ian Glazer for the rapper photo and to my wife Claudia for the photo of Brigham on a horse.

Great times!
