Today we had our department retreat. We left work just after lunch. The first stop was the local go-kart track. It was fun racing and passing. That's one of my favorite participatory sports. My leg was starting to cramp up a bit after three 4-minute rides, though.After that we golfed 9 holes. I'm not very good at that at all. I played in a foursome with a couple of guys who really tried to help me learn and tweak my swing though. Plus, we played "scramble"; which meant that each stroke we took the best ball and then all hit from that spot. That saved me a lot of frustration of trying to beat 10 shots per hole. In fact, playing that way, we were -1 for the 9 holes.
We finished up the day by having dinner at the country club with our wives. It was pretty comical all the mistakes the waitress made -- including bringing us all the bleu cheese steaks when many of us had ordered the onion/mushroom ones and also telling me that they were out of salmon only to find that my co-worker's wife, who had showed up late, got what was supposedly the last piece of salmon. It made for a good laugh.
So, what do you do at your work for fun?
