Annual JKR Phillies Outing

Some new Threads for everyone! a new tradition.

It's not all work and no play around here, although it may seem like that.  We really do work hard.  We just need some recuperation days to reconnect with our colleagues and have some fun. It's been 8 or 9 years now that we've closed down the office for the afternoon and have gone to the Phillies game for a business persons special.  Then, as always, we head down to our favorite dive bar Bob and Barbara's and get the other kind of special... A beer and a shot. This year we had another beautiful day and actually saw the Phils win a game for a change! Check out all the photos on our Facebook page.

Annual Phillies Outing

You need a drink before you see the Phils these days.

After a minor rain delay, the Phils got back to beatin on the Cubbies.

If it seems like our office is a lot of fun, that's because it is.  In keeping with our yearly tradition, which started way back when the Phillies were actually good; last Thursday we had our annual JKR day at the Phillies.  This year was special in that it was also the Boss Man's 65th birthday.  He took full advantage of his newly granted senior citizen status and wisely got his subway ride to the ballpark for free. With age comes wisdom I guess. And like we always do, we all went back to our second favorite watering hole where we got our celebratory drinks.  The drinks taste much sweeter when the Phils win big. 

Building Continuing Relationships

Blake Here: Thanks to a most generous Tom Donnelly of Quinn Construction some of us JKR peoples enjoyed the lap of luxury at last night’s Phillies game.  The seats were cushioned, the food and drinks were endless, and some man-servant named Steve accommodated our every request to ensure maximum joy.  And a joyous occasion it was as the Phillies did not disappoint, edging out the Marlins by 2 in a suspenseful performance that resulted in a total of 16 runs and 26 hits between the two teams.  This victory finally brought our hometown heroes to an even record of 71-71 while the current 6-game win streak increases the possibility of some post-season game play.  On behalf of the JKR attendees I’d like to say thanks again to Mr. Donnelly for the tickets to last night’s game, some fresh Quinn Construction tees, the discussion regarding the importance of blogging, and some high-fives in honor of last night’s glorious achievement….I think we’re good luck, we should do this again sometime in the near future.  

Third Thirsty Thursday

It's finally starting to catch on as a tradition around here, and this time we had a bunch of new guests with us.  All the new employees made it out to the bar we affectionately know as The Pub.  We're getting back into the habit of heading over to our favorite local watering hole on the third Thursday of the month. One time we played Pictionary... most times we just drink and eat every item containing cheese on the menu.  This picture only tells half the story, meaning half the people are behind the camera. I am starting get the itch for the annual JKR Partners Phils outing. Ah good times. On a side note, I am getting addicted to Instagram.
