We interrupt today’s blog post to bring you this announcement. Yesterday, John Walkenbach announced that this will be his last month as a Microsoft Excel MVP.
If you don’t know who John Walkenbach is, he’s the guy with the hat on all your Excel books.

Personally, I’m disappointed that he won’t be going to any more of the Microsoft MVP summits. I was at the last Summit he attended and I almost had a heart-attack from all the laughing we did.
I don’t know many of the Microsoft MVPs – but he’s one of the few I really like.
In any case, I don’t think this means he’s dying or going senile. But if he is, I’ve got dibs on replacing him on the Excel Bible series.
To learn more about what makes John Walkenbach tick, check out my heart-warming interview with him.


Thanks for the kind words during this critical time of my life. I’ll never forget the time we spent together in Seattle.
The reason I quit the MVP program is because I was told I’d have to share a room with you at the next Summit.
Get out here this an’t funny – there are a couple of people, yea I’ll include you, even though I eat peanuts, that are on top of their game. John W got me doing something I never though at 75 I could do more of.
Maybe it was the bed bugs in the hotel at the last MVP session that may have changed his mind.
