together. On the week of Halloween there was a competition to decorate our work areas. People went all out (well Cisco is a pretty competitive environment). We had mummies and zombies and a whole graveyard set up inside a blackended room (even had an ipod playing spooky music and white ice for the judging!). If that wasn't enough at 1pm when everyone could go and look at what people had done all these folks arrived on our floor from around the building dressed up in Halloween outfits....some of them were amazing. I found the whole thing hugely funny, Halloween is all about the grown ups. On the actual night it rained so I didn't go downtown - stayed inside snuggled up and warm.My MacBook Pro has arrived so I have been having fun figuring out how to use all the different cool things. It's quite intuitive although very different to use compared to windows. Now I have split my mind between by work laptop and the Mac!
Last week was a huge week at work. I am not sure why but it seemed that every time I turned around there was mini crisis going on. It made for a very long week and I was relieved to have Friday roll around.
Last weekend I did have a little adventure. Moss Beach Distillery is at Half Moon Bay and has an interesting history. During Prohibition the bootleggers used to land on the beach below the distillery to unload. The Distillery owner always managed to get a few barrels! Rumour has it that the Distillery is also haunted by The Blue Lady - short, long story of lost love and death, the story has been featured on Unsolved Mysteries. I went up to check it out as a place I could take the family to (okay also an excuse to do a good ride on the bike). I had a great time. Sat out on the patio looking across the sea, ate crab cakes and drunk lemonade (no beer, figured that wasn't a good idea before riding home). It was fun and definitely a lunch venue for the family.
Oh if you think the election is a done deal, check it out.
