As Far As I Can Tell

I’m at work right now, wasting time because things are super slow on this pre-holiday Friday. Everyone contiguous to my cube is gone, leaving me in a hollowed out area, quiet from the lack of computer hum. It’s my last day of work before leaving for Europe on Tuesday, with Moped BBQ 10 sandwiched in-between then and now. I was about to spend my time reading an article entitled Developing and Creatively Leveraging Hierarchical Metadata and Taxonomy when I realized: “Hey—I don’t give a shit about this right now”. For the next three weeks (or more) I’m blocking all that crap out of my mind in favor of relaxation, exploration, and enjoying spring.

The Moped BBQ weekend has begun, with out of town members rolling in starting late last night. I wonder if it can actually get larger and crazier every year. I keep expecting it to plateau, but it hasn’t happened. I’m really excited about the race this year, which uses a different format than we’ve had in the past. The raffle and custom moped contest are nice additions too. I’m hoping that whoever wins the moped raffle is new — someone who took a chance and wouldn’t have bought themselves a moped otherwise.

I’ll try to post a few photos before leaving the country.
