This past week I went to the launch event at the Microsoft store in Bellevue. It was quite a busy event. Of course looking back I realized that I was there during the lunch hour and during that hour I was told they sold out. There were two lines that were from the desk to the door and they were starting to wrap around the store. IT WAS INSANE. But a lot of fun, I lifted weights,
my children played Xbox One
and we learned about the Microsoft Band
