So this weekend was the Intergalatic Bocce Tournament and a super hoot it was. Along with a talented host of repeat offenders who travel from yon places to participate, there were some fresh but familiar faces. This year we kicked off a coworker nomination program at the Dogfish. This program resulted in coworkers being nominated in fabulousness in a variety of categories including safety superstar, king coach and so forth. A lot of really amazing Dogfish peeps were recognized and got to chill at a Phillies game with four of their besties. Fortunately, we had a ton of nominees, but shucks, we didn't have tons of tickets. But when life hands us lemons, we make sweet and delicious lemonade. We pulled four names from those who were nominated and badda bing badda boom, Big Mama's Jamas were formed. This talented crew made it into the later rounds, and once more and again, did us proud. With a final shout out to Big Mama, Trey, Jeffrey and Mr. Carter...I'm out (but I'll be back.)
so there i was all burned out after years of doing hr in the banking industry. then one day, it happened...dogfish seeks an hr director. can i get a what what? i submitted, i waited, i hoped, i prayed, i prayed harder, i asked others to pray to whatever they prayed to with equal fervor. finally, it happened. the call. the butterflies. the interview. the unicorns and rainbows! for me dogfish was like hello kitty and a super duper shot of espresso combined! i was hooked! then finally, i had the good fortune of being asked to join dogfish in the fall of 2006. did i jump at the chance? hell's yeah! i had the good foresight to recognize that if i moved and took this chance that i could once again work in an environment where i could believe in what i did, what we did, believe in leadership and believe that my contributions had meaning. it's been so awesome. our coworkers are incredible, every last one. our beer is wonderful, but working in an off-centered environment is the absolute best. do i thank my lucky stars? every day.

Ronald Regans,
As Team Captain of Big Mama Jamas, let me tell you - we had a rockin' bocce crew! You would not have believed that we had never played together as a team before the tournament. I was so proud of my jamas! Trey, Mark and Jeff - you guys brought it! Big Mama
