the look on my son's face when he saw Izzy the Grizzly come through the front door: priceless

Who cares about Mastercard -- this was so much FUN!   The Gateway Grizzlies are a local baseball team that many of us from WGK/Solutia go & watch sometimes (thanks, Carol)... Their mascot "Izzy" has been a big highlight with my kids for the last few years.  My son is turning 8 on Tuesday, and on a whim I emailed the Grizzlies to see if Izzy could come to his party...  It was a complete surprise for him and all the other party guests.  I think I had just as much as they did - buy boy, am I tired today - lol.

Hope all is going well with all of you...
