Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)
Good morning Lodge. Back in the office after three days on the road. My co-worker said it's 5% Friday. Where you only do 5% of the work you normally do. I'm up for that, given I feel like crap. Coming down with a cold, plus I have a head ache. I think I will head home after lunch.
Spent the day yesterday at the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, which is a very cool place. We had a Customer Appreciation Day for some of our affinity clients down in the North Carolina. Only one showed up. Which was pretty disappointing. That said, we all had a good time. We had Brandi Chastain there, as well as a kid named Vincent Hancock. With all the talk about shooting, I wanted to mention him as he is a gold medalist in Men's Skeet Shooting, in 2008 and 2012. And he's only 25. So goldy, have junior keep it up and you could see him in a future Olympics. And someone asked Brandi what she thought of Hope Solo and she said I don't like her. And you can report that. Oooookay then.

She's pretty awesome.
While there I did the zip line - anyone ever do something like that? Also, they have this walk off a plank 46 feet in the air thing. You have to climb a telephone pole, then step out onto this platform, walk to the corner, and step off it. You're in a harness so you just float down. It was really awesome. And then we did some whitewater rafting, which would have been truly spectacular if it was, like, 85 and sunny and not 68 and cloudy. But still a very fun experience.
