Well, I'm the boss I think we threw a great party last night. Held at the lovely home of a longtime employee. Truly incredible caterer and chef. Open and excellent wine and beer bar. Smokers like me generously accommodated with a covered outdoor area. Thirty eight of 44 employees showed up and nearly everyone stayed too late having fun, laughing, eating and drinking and then many continued on to a nearby nightclub though I called it a night when the last guests departed. Everyone made it home safe and sound, though keys were necessarily persuaded from one merrymaker.
The chef, incidentally, is also employed as a private chef for a family residing in the Ponzi mansion (the Ponzi scheme Ponzi) here in the Boston area.
