the best laid plans...

I've been slow posting because there's been a lot on lately - primarily in work.  We did get away to Whidby Island for the weekend last weekend and that'll be the subject of a (potential) future post.

Why is this called 'the best laid plans...'?  Well, I had a great plan to boost morale amongst my team at work by challenging them at pool during a recent morale event.  I presumed that since most of them were self-professed to be terrible, and I'd been playing better in league lately, that it may be tight but no worries.  So what happened?  Sure enough, the first game officially part of the challenge and I lost handily :(.  A week's worth of breakfast at our morning meeting on me :(.

Take aways? 

1. scout the competition before you open your big mouth :)

2. find out prices before you order - somehow I just ended up with bagels from somewhere that charges $1.50 a bagel !@#%#  What kind of crazy bakery price is that?  Shouldn't they be ~.50 a bagel or am I just living in the 80s?
