He passed the Crucible known as "Game Day" at AWS (Amazon Web Services) today. His first time to try. They basically screw up the internet and put him in front of a computer and tell him to fix it.

He is on the team that manages about 40% of the Worlds internet and data cloud services depending on who you talk to. He's been working there since the start of the year and eagerly anticipating the test that will allow him full access to everything and to become a full fledged part of the team.

He has come so far from making $9 an hour at Game Stop when he was 19 to now only 5 years later and he's a Network Engineer at AWS making more than Mrs. Irish and I could ever dream of.

We are flying out there in June for the Solstice Festival and then taking his Porsche to the Olympic National Park for a few days to explore before coming back to Freemont and spending a few more days with him before flying back to Alabama.

He's wanting us to buy his Porsche Cayenne S and drive it back... He just bought a new Audi RS3 today, so I know he would like us to take the Porsche off his hands, but I don't know... I have never owned a Porsche. I know the first day the he drove it up to the cabin and Mrs. Irish sat in it, it was like she was in car wonderland. All polished aluminum and leather like a peanut butter baseball glove...
