It's Friday, the last one in 2013. Most of you are (hopefully) having slow, quiet days during the holiday season and are not too busy at work.  I hope most of you had a great year in 2013, and with that in mind, I wanted to ask you a simple question:

What's your best SQL Server memory of 2013?

Maybe it was when you solved a problem or completed a project successfully. Maybe it was an event that you enjoyed, like a SQL Saturday or conference? Maybe it was a talk or a conversation you had with another SQL Server professional. Perhaps it was some social event involving SQL Server.

It could be something you laughed at, a situation that taught you something, or an inspirational moment. Share it with us today, and remember what you enjoy about working in this field.

I hope you had multiple great memories in 2013 and will make more in 2014. Happy Holidays.
