Thanksgiving at Work
Today, at work, we celebrated Thanksgiving. The company provides turkeys and a lot of us bring in a covered dish. Some of us, guys who blog better than they cook, kick in some money.
As I've said before, I work for one of the best companies ever.
In addition to today's Thanksgiving Feast we also had kick-ass weather and I decided to take the bike on a 17.5-mile lunchtime spin. (I had my Thanksgiving feast at my desk while I worked on some things.) When I was out I snapped this horrible picture of the Outback Blimp. I've no idea why it's in Columbus and I think it's mere coincidence that it's been headed toward our Outback the two days I've seen it. Both times, by the way, I was out on the bicycle at around 1 p.m.
It was my intention for this photo to show what a nice day we're having. As you can see, that's hardly the feeling one gets from this picture.
Anyway, it's about 61 F (16 C), sunny and nice.

It's been very nice here too - 60s most of the day.
That picture looks a little scary, actually.

The sun sort of has a collapsing-in-on-itself look to it.

Maybe it is one of those blowup blimps? I think our high today is 88!

Black Hole Sun,
Won't Ya Come, and
Wash Away the Rain?

Diana: 88 is far too warm for this time of year. I don't know how you folks put up with it.
Darrell: I had to Google for it. Soundgarden? Aren't you a bit old to be listening to that? At first I thought it might be The Police, from "Invisible Sun." (Though, I've got to say, "Black Hole Sun" sure captures the essence of the photo.)

I have that song on my IPOD, the rest of the album was marginal. I used to work with a guy who would sing "Black A**hole", it was in reference to his anus.

Google says it originally appeared in their 1994 album "Superunknown". That would have made me 33 years old. Hardly too old back then. It was during my "Grunge Period", followed shortly thereafter by my "Blue Period" (otherwise know as my "Menstrual Period").

MikeO: Scott? When you said 'used to' did you mean 'now'?
Darrell: I remember your menstrual period. Weren't you wandering then?
