Pin Trading!

We have been fun doing what has been called "the greatest olympic spectator sport," -pin trading. Panasonic started everyone out by giving us a stash of Panasonic sponsor pins to trade with (and a few that are really too nice to trade). There is one gal in our group - Eileen - who says that she could sell a comb to a bald man, and she is a natural-born trader! She got so many pins the first day that Rebecca asked if she could "shadow" her yesterday. She shared all her strategies, and all of us had a blast trading pins. It is interesting to see who likes what kind of pins. I like the sponsor pins (especially the NBC one I got yesterday), and Terry likes the olympic pins. Rebecca likes the pins with moving parts, and Nathan likes ones that have Fuwa on them doing olympic sports.

Here's a slide show of our pin trading yesterday. You can see from the umbrellas that it was a rainy day, but at least it was not hot at all.
