It usually slips my mind that there are award dates for the Microsoft MVP program outside my own. I’m on Jan 1, though I don’t always know until Jan 2 or 3, depending on the snow 🙂

Today a bunch of people were awarded and re-awarded. I’m sure I’ll miss some people, but here are some congrats that I know about (Twitter links):

• Gail Shaw
• Allen White
• Mike in KC
• Robert Cane
• Ted Krueger (Exceptional DBA Finalist)
• Patrick LeBlanc
• Glenn Berry
• Arnie Rowland
• Pinal Dave

I’m sure I’ve missed a few, and apologies for those I didn’t catch on Twitter.

This is a fantastic group and I’m honored to be in such good company in the SQL Community.
