Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Day 51: Picnic Lunch

The weather today was perfect - mid 70s, partly sunny, a bit breezy - the ideal Sacramento springtime climate.  We took advantage of this lovely day to have a picnic lunch on the grounds of the Capital for our DER (Development & External Relations) bi-weekly management meeting.  V, K, C, and I headed out of the office around 11:30am and found a dry and shaded spot on the lawn under a tree near the 13th Street cut-through of Capital Park. 

V had also brought Taboo, as we had decided that keeping things light and ensuring we have some fun team-building amongst our management team was equally as important as discussing any more formal business issues.  K and I teamed up against V and C, and we emerged victorious.  So fun!

These are the moments I need to remember when I'm having a not-so-great or blah day at work...
